Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the present disclosure is to be limited only by the scope of the claims.

Throughout the drawings and detailed description, unless otherwise indicated, like reference numerals should be understood to refer to like elements, features and structures. The relative sizes and depictions of these elements may be exaggerated for clarity, illustration, and convenience. The progression of the described process steps and/or operations is one example; however, the order of steps and/or operations is not limited to that described herein and may be changed as is known in the art, except for steps and/or operations that must occur in a particular order. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. The names of the respective elements used in the following description are selected merely for the convenience of writing the present specification, and thus may be different from the names used in actual products.

The shapes, sizes, proportions, angles, and numbers disclosed in the drawings for describing the embodiments of the present disclosure are merely examples, and thus, the present disclosure is not limited to the details shown. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration unnecessarily obscures the gist of the present disclosure, the detailed description will be omitted.

When "including", "having", and "including" described in this specification are used, another part may be added unless "only" is used. Terms in the singular may include the plural unless the contrary is stated.

When an element is explained, it is to be interpreted as including an error or tolerance range even if such error or tolerance range is not explicitly described. In describing positional relationships, for example, when a positional relationship between two components is described as, for example, "on," above, "" below, "and" next to, "one or more other components may be disposed between the two components unless a more limiting term is used, such as" only "or" directly. In describing temporal relationships, for example, when temporal sequences are described as, for example, "after", "then", "next", and "before", it can include instances where there is no continuation, unless a more limiting term is used, such as "just", "immediately", or "directly".

It will be understood that, although the terms first and second may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first element could be termed a second element, and, similarly, a second element could be termed a first element, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

In describing the elements of the present disclosure, the terms "first", "second", "a", "B", "(a)", "(B)", etc. may be used. These terms are intended to distinguish one corresponding element from another, and the basis, order, or number of corresponding elements should not be limited by these terms. Unless otherwise specified, the statement that one element is "connected," "coupled," or "attached" to another element or layer indicates that the element or layer may be not only directly connected or attached to the other element or layer, but also indirectly connected or attached to the other element or layer and one or more intervening elements or layers are "disposed" between the elements or layers.

The term "at least one" should be understood to include any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, the meaning of "at least one of a first item, a second item, and a third item" means a combination of all items set forth from two or more of the first item, the second item, and the third item, as well as the first item or the second item or the third item.

In the description of the embodiments, when one structure is described as being located "on or above" or "under or below" another structure, the description should be construed as including a case where the structures are in contact with each other and a case where a third structure is disposed therebetween. The size and thickness of each element shown in the drawings are given only for convenience of description, and embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto unless otherwise specified.

As will be well understood by those skilled in the art, the features of the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be partially or wholly coupled or combined with each other, and may interoperate with each other and be technically driven in various ways. Embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed independently of each other, or may be performed together in an interdependent relationship.

In the present disclosure, examples of the display device may include a narrow-sense display device including a display panel and a driver for driving the display panel, such as an Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) module or a Liquid Crystal Module (LCM). Further, examples of the display device may include a kit (or kit) or an electronic device kit as a complete product (or end product) including the LCM or the OLED module, for example, a notebook computer, a TV, a computer monitor, a work including an automobile device or other type of device for a vehicle, or a mobile electronic device such as a smart phone or an electronic tablet.

Therefore, in the present disclosure, examples of the display device may include the display device itself in a narrow sense such as an LCM or an OLED module, and a kit as an end consumer or application product including the LCM or the OLED module.

In some embodiments, the LCM or OLED module including the display panel and the driver may be referred to as a narrow sense display device, and an electronic device as an end product including the LCM or OLED module may be referred to as a kit. For example, the narrow sense display device may include a display panel such as an LCD or an OLED, and a source Printed Circuit Board (PCB) as a controller for driving the display panel. The kit may also include a kit PCB that is a kit controller electrically connected to the source PCB to integrally control the kit.

The display panel applied to the present embodiment may use all types of display panels, such as a liquid crystal display panel, an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display panel, and an electro-luminescence display panel, which are vibrated by the sound generating apparatus according to the present embodiment to output sound, but is not limited to a specific display panel. Further, the shape or size of the display panel applied to the display device according to the present embodiment is not limited.

For example, if the display panel is a liquid crystal display panel, the display panel may include a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of pixels respectively disposed in a plurality of pixel regions defined by intersections of the gate lines and the data lines. Further, the display panel may include: an array substrate including a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) as a switching element for adjusting light transmittance of each of a plurality of pixels; an upper substrate including a color filter and/or a black matrix; and a liquid crystal layer between the array substrate and the upper substrate.

In addition, if the display panel is an organic light emitting display panel, the display panel may include a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of pixels respectively disposed in a plurality of pixel regions defined by intersections of the gate lines and the data lines. Further, the display panel may include: an array substrate including a TFT as an element for selectively applying a voltage to each pixel; an organic light emitting device layer on the array substrate; and an encapsulation substrate disposed on the array substrate to cover the organic light emitting device layer. The encapsulation substrate may protect the TFT and the organic light emitting device layer from external impact, and may prevent water or oxygen from penetrating into the organic light emitting device layer. In addition, the layer disposed on the array substrate may include an inorganic light emitting layer (e.g., a nanoscale material layer or quantum dots, etc.). As another example, the layer disposed on the array substrate may include micro light emitting diodes.

In the present disclosure, the display panel may be applied to a vehicle as a user interface module, for example, a central control panel for an automobile. For example, the display panel may be provided between passengers seated in two front seats so as to transmit vibration of the display panel to the interior of the vehicle. Therefore, the audio experience in the vehicle is improved compared to the case where the speaker is disposed inside the vehicle.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. When a reference numeral is added to an element of each drawing, the same reference numeral may denote the same element, although the same element is shown in other drawings. Further, for convenience of description, the scale of each element shown in the drawings is different from the actual scale, and thus is not limited to the scale shown in the drawings.

Fig. 1 illustrates a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along line I-I' shown in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a display module 100, a rear cover 300, and at least one sound generation module 500.

The display module 100 may vibrate based on the driving of the at least one sound generation module 500 to directly output the sound PVS (or panel vibration sound) in the front surface direction (or front area) FD while displaying an image. Alternatively, the display module 100 may vibrate based on the driving of the at least one sound generation module 500 to directly output the sound PVS to the front region FD in a state where an image is not displayed. Accordingly, the display module 100 according to the present disclosure may display an image and may generate (or output) sound PVS.

The display module 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a display panel 110 displaying an image. For example, the image may comprise an electronic image or a digital image.

The display panel 110 may be implemented as all types of display panels, such as an organic light emitting diode display panel, a liquid crystal display panel, an electro-luminescence display panel, a micro light emitting diode display panel, and a quantum dot display panel. The display panel 110 may vibrate based on the vibration of the sound generation module 500 to directly output the sound PVS to the front area FD, and thus, the display panel 110 may be a vibration plate or a speaker that directly generates the sound PVS. For example, when the display module 100 generates the sound PVS, the display module 100 may be a vibration plate, a panel speaker, or a flat panel speaker that directly generates the sound PVS.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the display panel 110 may include a pixel circuit disposed on a substrate (or a backplane) and a pixel array layer (or a display unit) connected to the pixel circuit and including an anode, a cathode, and an organic light emitting layer. The display panel 110 may display an image in a type such as a top emission type, a bottom emission type, or a dual emission type based on the structure of the pixel array layer. For example, the anode may be referred to as a first electrode or a pixel electrode, and the term is not limited thereto. The cathode may be referred to as a second electrode or a common electrode, and the term is not limited thereto.

In the top emission type, light generated from the pixel array layer may be output to the front region FD in front of the substrate of the display panel 110. In the bottom emission type, light generated from the pixel array layer may be output to the outside through the substrate, thereby displaying an image.

The display module 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a functional film 130 disposed on the display panel 110.

The functional film 130 may be attached to the display panel 110 using a transparent adhesive member. For example, the transparent adhesive member may include a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA), an Optically Clear Adhesive (OCA), or an Optically Clear Resin (OCR), but is not limited thereto.

According to some embodiments, the functional film 130 may include an anti-reflection layer (or anti-reflection film) for preventing reflection of external light to enhance outdoor visibility and contrast with respect to an image displayed by the display panel 110. For example, the anti-reflection layer may include a circular polarization layer (or a circular polarization film) that prevents external light reflected by a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) and/or a wire disposed on the pixel array layer of the display panel 110 from being transmitted to the outside.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the functional film 130 may further include a light path control layer (or a light path control film) for controlling a light output path from the pixel array layer of the display panel 110 to the outside. The light path control layer may include a stacked structure in which high refractive layers and low refractive layers are alternately stacked, and a path of light incident from the pixel array layer may be changed to minimize a color shift phenomenon based on a viewing angle, and for example, the low refractive layer may be disposed on an uppermost layer of the light path control layer.

The display module 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a touch electrode unit of a user interface for using a user touch. The touch electrode unit may be disposed between the display panel 110 and the functional film 130, or may be embedded in the display panel 110 based on an in-cell (in-cell) touch type. For example, the touch electrode unit based on the in-cell touch type may include a mutual capacitive touch electrode or a self capacitive touch electrode.

The rear cover 300 may be disposed on a rear surface of the display module 100. The rear cover 300 may support or fix the sound generation module 500.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the rear cover 300 may cover rear surfaces of the display module 100 and the sound generation module 500. The rear cover 300 may be referred to as a support member, a housing, a system cover, a stationary cover, a rear cover, a cover bottom, a rear frame, or a chassis, but the term is not limited thereto. Also, the rear surface of the display module 100 may be referred to as one surface, a first surface, a rear surface, or a lower surface, but the term is not limited thereto.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the rear cover 300 may include a first rear cover 310 and a second rear cover 350.

The first back cover 310 may be disposed on a rear surface of the display module 100, and may cover the display module 100 (e.g., a rear surface of the display panel 110). The first back cover 310 may be spaced apart from the rearmost surface of the display module 100 with a gap space GS therebetween. The first back cover 310 may support or fix the sound generation module 500. The first back cover 310 may protect the rear surface of the display panel 110 from external impact. In addition, the first rear cover 310 may perform a function of a heat dissipation plate for dissipating heat generated in the display module 100.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first back cover 310 may be a plate member that covers the rearmost surface of the display module 100 (e.g., the entire rear surface of the display panel 110). For example, the edge or corner of the first rear cover 310 may have an inclined shape or a curved shape through a chamfering process or a rounding process.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first back cover 310 according to embodiments of the present disclosure may include a glass material, a metal material, or a plastic material. For example, the first rear cover 310 including a glass material may include one of sapphire glass and gorilla glass or a laminated structure (or a bonded structure) thereof, but is not limited thereto. For example, the first back cover 310 including a metal material may include one of aluminum (Al), an aluminum alloy, a magnesium alloy, an iron-nickel alloy, and stainless steel, or may include an alloy material or a bonded (or laminated) structure thereof.

The second rear cover 350 may be disposed on the rear surface of the first rear cover 310, and may cover the rear surface of the first rear cover 310. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second rear cover 350 may be a plate member covering the entire rear surface of the first rear cover 310. For example, the edge or corner of the second back cover 350 may have an inclined shape or a curved shape through a chamfering process or a rounding process.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second back cover 350 may be formed of one of a glass material, a metal material, or a plastic material, or may be formed of a material different from that of the first back cover 310. For example, the second back cover 350 may be formed of a glass material, and the first back cover 310 may be formed of a metal material having good thermal conductivity, such as Al. For example, the design of the display device may be improved based on the second rear cover 350 disposed on the last surface and including a glass material, and the rear surface of the display device may use the first rear cover 310 including a metal material as a mirror surface.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second back cover 350 according to embodiments of the present disclosure may have the same thickness as or a thinner thickness than that of the first back cover 310 within a tolerance range of a manufacturing process. For example, in order to more stably support the sound generation module 500 and reduce the weight of the display device, the first back cover 310 may have a thickness thicker than that of the second back cover 350.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first and second back covers 310 and 350 may be coupled or connected to each other by the cover coupling member 330. For example, the cover coupling member 330 may be an adhesive resin, a double-sided tape, or a double-sided tape foam pad, and may have elasticity for absorbing impact.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cover coupling member 330 may be disposed in the entire region between the first and second back covers 310 and 350.

According to some embodiments, the cover coupling member 330 may be disposed in a mesh structure including an air gap between the first and second back covers 310 and 350. For example, a portion of the air gap between the first and second back covers 310 and 350 may be used as a layout area of a signal transmission member or a cable connected to the sound generating module 500.

The at least one sound generation module 500 may generate the sound PVS using the display module 100 as a vibration plate. For example, the at least one sound generation module 500 may generate the sound PVS using the display panel 110 as a vibration plate.

The display apparatus according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include one sound generation module disposed at a rear central portion (or central region) of the display module 100. For example, the one sound generation module may vibrate a rear central portion of the display module 100 to generate the sound PVS based on the vibration of the display module 100.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the display apparatus may include a first sound generation module 500-1 and a second sound generation module 500-2, the first sound generation module 500-1 being disposed in a first region (or a left region) of the display module 100 and the second sound generation module 500-2 being disposed in a second region (or a right region) of the display module 100 with respect to a rear central portion of the display module 100. For example, the first sound generation module 500-1 may vibrate a first rear region of the display module 100 to generate sound PVS based on the vibration of the first region of the display module 100. The second sound generation module 500-2 may vibrate the second rear region of the display module 100 to generate the sound PVS based on the vibration of the second region of the display module 100. A display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may output a two-channel stereo sound based on left and right sound separation by using the first and second sound generation modules 500-1 and 500-2. For example, the first sound generation module 500-1 may be configured to output a left sound, and the second sound generation module 500-2 may be configured to output a right sound.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, at least one sound generation module 500 may be located between the display module 100 and the back cover 300, and may vibrate the display module 100 to generate sound PVS. The rear surface of the at least one sound generation module 500 may be covered by the rear cover 300 and thus may be hidden without being directly exposed to the outermost rear surface of the display device. Accordingly, since the rear surface of the at least one sound generation module 500 is covered by the back cover 300, the display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may have a neat rear surface design in which a portion or the rear surface of the at least one sound generation module 500 is not exposed or not seen by the eyes of the user, thereby improving the rear appearance design.

The at least one sound generation module 500 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be a single structure or a single structure in which the module structure 510 provided at the back cover 300 and the vibration device 530 provided at the module structure 510 to vibrate the display module 100 are modularized as one element. For example, the module structure 510 and the vibration device 530 may be manufactured as a single structure body or a finished type of a single structure, for example, through a modular process (or an assembly process) instead of an assembly process performed on the display apparatus, and then, the at least one sound generation module 500 may be mounted or disposed in the gap space GS between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300 through a relatively simple component mounting (or positioning) process in the assembly process performed on the display apparatus. Accordingly, in the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to improve the assembling performance of the at least one sound generation module 500 in the process of assembling the modules, thereby improving the production yield.

The at least one sound generation module 500 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may directly or indirectly vibrate the display module 100. For example, the at least one sound generation module 500 may be directly connected to the display panel 110 and may directly vibrate the display panel 110. As another example, the at least one sound generation module 500 may indirectly vibrate the display panel 110 by using a vibration transmission member directly connected to the display panel 110. For example, the vibration transfer member may be implemented in the corresponding sound generation module 500 or the display module 100. For example, the vibration transfer member implemented in the at least one sound generation module 500 may be a vibration transfer plate (or vibration transfer sheet) contacting (or coupled to) the display module 100. Further, the vibration transfer member implemented in the display module 100 may be a backlight module disposed on the rear surface of the display panel 110, or may be a vibration transfer plate (or a heat dissipation plate) coupled to (or attached to) the rear surface of the display panel 110.

The display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a middle frame 700.

The middle frame 700 may be disposed between the rear edge of the display module 100 and the front edge of the rear cover 300. The middle frame 700 may support an edge (or a circumference) of each of the display module 100 and the rear cover 300, and may surround a side surface of each of the display module 100 and the rear cover 300. The middle frame 700 may provide a gap space GS between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300. The gap space GS may be referred to as an air gap, a vibration space, or a sound generation module arrangement space, but the term is not limited thereto.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the middle frame 700 may be connected or coupled to the rear edge (or rear circumferential edge) of the display module 100 by a first adhesive member 7011, and may be connected or coupled to the front edge (or front circumferential edge) of the rear cover 300 by a second adhesive member 7013. The front surface of the rear cover 300 may be referred to as another surface, a second surface, or an upper surface, but the term is not limited thereto. Further, the middle frame 700 may be referred to as a middle case, a middle cover, or a middle chassis, but the term is not limited thereto.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the middle frame 700 may include a metal material or a plastic material. For example, the middle frame 700 may be formed of a metal material for improving the side appearance design of the display device and protecting the side surfaces of the display device.

The middle frame 700 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include a support portion 7110 and a side wall portion 7130. The support portion 7110 may be a first portion and the side wall portion 7130 may be a second portion, but the term is not limited thereto.

The supporting part 7110 may be disposed between a rear edge (or rear circumference) of the display module 100 and a front edge (or front circumference) of the rear cover 300, so that a gap space GS may be provided between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300. The front surface of the support 7110 may be coupled to the rear edge of the display module 100 by a first adhesive member 7011, and the rear surface of the support 7110 may be coupled to the front edge of the rear cover 300 by a second adhesive member 7013. The supporting part 7110 may have a thickness (or height) corresponding to the total module thickness of the sound generation module 500. For example, the thickness of the support 7110 may be adjusted based on the module thickness of the sound generating module 500 between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300, the thickness of the first adhesive member 7011, and the thickness of the second adhesive member 7013.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the supporting part 7110 may have a single square (quadrangular) picture frame structure, but is not limited thereto. For example, the support part 7110 may be positioned between the rear edge of the display module 100 and the front edge of the rear cover 300 to have a plurality of division bar shapes.

The first adhesive member 7011 may be located between the rear edge of the display module 100 and the front surface of the support 7110. For example, the first adhesive member 7011 may be an adhesive resin, a double-sided tape, or a double-sided tape foam pad, but is not limited thereto.

The second adhesive member 7013 may be located between the front edge of the rear cover 300 and the rear surface of the supporting portion 7110. For example, the second adhesive member 7013 may be an adhesive resin, a double-sided tape, or a double-sided tape foam pad. The second adhesive member 7013 may be formed of a material different from that of the first adhesive member 7011.

The side wall portion 7130 may be vertically coupled to an outer surface of the support portion 7110 in parallel to a thickness direction Z of the display apparatus. The sidewall part 7130 may surround the entirety of the outer surface (or outer sidewall) of the display module 100 and the outer surface (or outer sidewall) of the rear cover 300, thereby protecting the outer surface of each of the display module 100 and the rear cover 300 and improving the design of the appearance of the side surface of the display device. The middle frame 700 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be coupled to each other such that the supporting portion 7110 and the side wall portion 7130 form a single body, so that a picture frame structure having a single-sided structure of a't-shape' shape may be obtained.

The display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include an adhesive member instead of the middle frame 700.

The adhesive member may be located between the rear edge of the display module 100 and the front edge of the rear cover 300, and may provide a gap space GS between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300. The adhesive member may have a thickness (or height) corresponding to the total module thickness of the sound generating module 500. For example, the thickness of the adhesive member may be adjusted based on the module thickness of the sound generation module 500 between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300. The adhesive member may perform the same function as that of the supporting part 7110 of the middle frame 700.

When the display apparatus includes the adhesive member instead of the middle frame 700, the rear cover 300 may include a sidewall covering part surrounding three of an outer surface (or an outer sidewall) of the display module 100, an outer surface (or an outer sidewall) of the rear cover 300, and an outer surface (or an outer sidewall) of the adhesive member.

The sidewall covering part may extend from an end of the second rear cover 350, and may be perpendicularly bent to be parallel to the thickness direction Z of the display device. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sidewall covering portion may have a single sidewall structure or a hemming (hemming) structure. The crimping structure may mean a structure in which the end portions of any member are bent in a curved shape to overlap each other or to be spaced apart from each other in parallel. For example, the sidewall covering part having the hemming structure may include a first sidewall extending from an end of the second rear cover 350 and perpendicularly bent to be parallel to the thickness direction Z of the display device, and a second sidewall extending from an end of the first sidewall and bent to be parallel to the first sidewall. The second sidewall may be located between the outer surface of the display module 100 and the first sidewall, and for example, the second sidewall may not be exposed at the outermost surface of the display device and may be covered by the first sidewall, thereby improving the side appearance design of the display device.

In the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the display module 100 may further include a heat dissipation member 150.

The heat discharging member 150 may be positioned between the vibration device 530 of the sound generating module 500 and the display module 100. The heat discharging member 150 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be attached to the rear surface of the display module 100 to overlap the sound generating module 500, and may be coupled or connected to the vibration device 530 of the sound generating module 500. The heat dissipation member 150 may be disposed on the rear surface of the display module 100 to overlap the vibration device 530, and may diffuse heat occurring when the vibration device 530 is driven toward the display module 100, thereby preventing performance degradation of the vibration device 530 caused by the heat. In addition, the heat dissipation member 150 may have a wider size than the vibration device 530 with respect to a central portion of the vibration device 530, and may diffuse heat generated when the vibration device 530 is driven to a wide area, thereby preventing the heat from being intensively transferred to a local area of the display module 100 overlapping the sound generation module 500. Accordingly, local brightness non-uniformity of the display module 100 may be prevented or minimized.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the heat discharging member 150 may include one of aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and magnesium (Mg) or an alloy thereof, or may include a metal material having high thermal conductivity like an alloy thereof, but is not limited thereto. The heat discharging member 150 may be referred to as a heat discharging fin, a heat discharging layer, a heat discharging plate, a heat sink, a heat conducting sheet, a heat conducting layer, or a heat conducting plate, but the term is not limited thereto.

Accordingly, the display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may output the sound PVS to the front region FD based on the vibration of the display module 100 (e.g., the display panel 110) caused by the vibration of the sound generation module 500, thereby enhancing the immersive experience of the viewer viewing the image displayed by the display device.

Further, in the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the sound PVS is generated based on the vibration of the display module 100, a separate speaker may not be provided, thereby enhancing the degree of freedom in the design of the kit and the arrangement of elements.

In addition, since the sound generating module 500 is disposed in the gap space GS between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300, the rear surface of the sound generating module 500 may be covered by the rear cover 300, and thus, the display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may have a compact rear design in which a portion or the rear surface of the sound generating module 500 is not exposed or not seen by a user, thereby improving the rear appearance design of the display device.

Further, in the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the module structure 510 and the vibration device 530 of the sound generating module 500 may be modularized as one element and may be installed in the gap space GS between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300 through a relatively simple component mounting process, and thus, the assembling performance of the sound generating module 500 may be improved in an assembling process performed on the display apparatus, thereby improving the production yield.

Referring to fig. 2 to 3E, a sound generation module 500 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a module structure 510 and a vibration device 530.

The module structure 510 may be provided at the back cover 300. For example, the module structure 510 may be provided at the back cover 300 and may fix or support the vibration device 530. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the module structure 510 may be a metal plate including a metal material and having a plate shape. The modular structure 510 may be referred to as a deck mechanism, a base structure, a base mechanism, a module support frame, or a module support panel, although the term is not so limited.

The module structure 510 may be disposed on or fixed to the rear cover 300 by using the first member 410 (or the module fixing member). The rear surface of the module structure 510 may be covered by the rear cover 300 and thus may be hidden without being directly exposed at the outermost rear surface of the display device. For example, the rear surface of the module structure 510 may be completely covered by the rear cover 300 and thus may be hidden without being directly exposed at the outermost rear surface of the display device.

The first member 410 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be a double-sided adhesive member between the module structure 510 and the rear cover 300. The double-sided adhesive member may be a double-sided adhesive tape or a double-sided adhesive foam tape, but is not limited thereto. One surface (or front surface) of the first member 410 may be coupled to or disposed at the rear surface of the module structure 510, and the other surface (or rear surface) of the first member 410 may be disposed at or fixed to the rear cover 300 (e.g., the front surface of the first rear cover 310). For example, the other surface of the first member 410 may be fixed to or disposed at the front surface of the first rear cover 310 in a state where the lower protective sheet is peeled therefrom.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first member 410 may be coupled (or modularized) to the rearmost surface of the sound generation module 500, which is modularized as one element, so as to facilitate assembly between the sound generation module 500 and the display module 100, and may be protected by a lower protective sheet. For example, the lower protective sheet may be referred to as a lower release sheet or backsheet, although the term is not limited thereto.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the double-sided adhesive member as the first member 410 may further include a heat transfer material. The heat transfer material may rapidly transfer heat generated in the sound generating module 500 to the back cover 300, and thus may cause the heat of the sound generating module 500 to be dissipated toward the back cover 300, thereby preventing or minimizing local brightness non-uniformity of the display module 100 from occurring due to the heat generated in the driving of the sound generating module 500 being locally transferred to a region of the display module 100 overlapping with the sound generating module 500. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the heat transfer material may include conductive particles or a conductive layer, but is not limited thereto. For example, the double-sided adhesive member including the heat transfer material may be referred to as a heat transfer tape or a heat dissipation tape, but the term is not limited thereto.

The vibration device 530 may be disposed at the module structure 510 and may vibrate the display module 100. For example, the vibration device 530 may be disposed at the module structure 510 and may vibrate the display panel 110. The vibration device 530 may be provided integrally with the module structure 510 or fixed to the module structure 510 by using the module integration member 520.

The vibration device 530 may include a sound device or a vibration generating device that vibrates the display module 100 based on an electrical signal. For example, the vibration device 530 may be configured to vibrate the display module 100 with a current (or a voice current) applied thereto based on the fleming's left-hand rule. The vibration device 530 may be referred to as a sound generation unit, a sound generation module, a vibration generation unit, an actuator, an exciter, or a transducer, but the term is not limited thereto.

The base plate 531 may support each of the magnet 532, the center pole 533, and the bezel 536. The bottom plate 531 may include a metal material having magnetism, such as iron (Fe). The base plate 531 may be referred to as a lower plate, a base frame or a yoke, but the term is not limited thereto.

The bottom plate 531 may include a groove portion that receives the magnet 532 and the bobbin 534. For example, the groove portion may be concavely provided from the upper surface of the bottom plate 531 to have a circular shape.

The chassis 531 may be provided integrally with the module structure 510 or at the module structure 510 by using the module integration member 520.

The module integration member 520 may be an adhesive member. The adhesive member may be disposed between the extended portion (or the fixing portion) 531a of the base plate 531 and the module structure 510, and thus, the base plate 531 may be disposed at the module structure 510. The module-integrating member 520 including the adhesive member may be an adhesive or a double-sided tape, but is not limited thereto.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the module integration member 520 may include a plurality of screws. A plurality of screws may pass through the extension portions 531a of the base plate 531 and may be fastened to the module structure 510, and thus, the base plate 531 may be disposed at the module structure 510.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the module integration member 520 may include a bolt and a nut. A nut may be provided or fixed to the module structure 510 overlapping the extension 531a of the base plate 531. The bolt may pass through the extension 531a of the base plate 531 and may be fastened to the nut. The nut according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be a self-tightening nut provided at the module structure 510, but is not limited thereto. The self-tightening nut can be

And a nut.

The magnet 532, the center pole 533, the bobbin 534, and the coil 535 may be referred to as a magnetic circuit unit or a magnetic vibration unit, which is mounted on the base plate 531 to vibrate the display module 100.

The magnetic circuit unit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may have an external or dynamic magnetic type structure in which the magnet 532 is disposed outside the coil 535, or may have an internal magnetic type or micro structure in which the magnet 532 is disposed inside the coil 535. The vibration device 530 including the magnetic circuit unit having the internal magnetic type structure may have an overall small size and low leakage magnetic flux. The vibration device 530 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may have an external magnetic type or an internal magnetic type structure. Hereinafter, an example in which the vibration device 530 has an internal magnetic type will be described.

The magnet 532 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be inserted or received in the groove portion of the bottom plate 531. The magnet 532 may be a permanent magnet having a cylindrical shape that can be inserted or received in the bobbin 534. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the magnet 532 may be implemented with a sintered magnet such as barium ferrite, and the material of the magnet 532 may include Fe₂O₃、BaCO₃Neodymium magnets, strontium ferrites (Fe) with improved magnetic component₁₂O₁₉Sr), including Al, nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co). For example, the neodymium magnet may be neodymium-iron-boron (Nd-Fe-B), but is not limited thereto.

A bobbin 534 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be disposed on the bottom plate 531 and surround the magnet 532. The bobbin 534 may have a circular or oval shape, but is not limited thereto. The oval shape may be an ellipse, a rectangle with rounded corners, or a non-circular curved shape with a width different from its height, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, in a bobbin 534 having an oval shape, the ratio of the major axis diameter to the minor axis diameter may be set to 1.3: 1 to 2: 1. the bobbin 534 having the oval shape may improve the sound of a high-pitched sound band (high-pitched sound band) better than the circular shape, and may reduce the generation of heat caused by vibration, so that it may have excellent heat dissipation characteristics.

The coil 535 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be wound around an outer circumferential surface of the bobbin 534 and may be externally supplied with a sound-generating current (or voice current). The coil 535 may be lowered or raised along with the bobbin 534. The coil 535 may be referred to as a voice coil. When a current is applied to the coil 535, the entire portion of the bobbin 534 may move up and down according to the fleming's left-hand rule based on the applied magnetic field generated around the coil 535 and the external magnetic field generated around the magnet 532, and may generate sound PVS or sound waves based on vibration of the display module 100 caused by vertical movement (or vibration) of the bobbin 534.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the coil 535 is wound around the outer circumferential surface of the bobbin 534, heat generated in the coil 535 may be transferred to the bobbin 534, and the coil 535 may include a material having relatively good heat dissipation characteristics for reducing image quality defects affecting the display panel 110 due to the heat of the bobbin 534. Further, since the bobbin 534 vibrates up and down, horizontal vibration may occur due to vertical vibration, and the horizontal vibration of the bobbin 534 may be affected by the weight of the bobbin 534. The weight of the bobbin 534 may be affected by the weight of the coil 535. Accordingly, when the weight of the coil 535 is reduced, the horizontal vibration of the bobbin 534 may be reduced. Accordingly, in consideration of heat transferred to the bobbin 534 and horizontal vibration of the bobbin 534, the coil 535 may have relatively good heat dissipation characteristics because its thermal conductivity is superior to that of copper, which is a general coil material, and the coil 535 may include an Al material having relatively good heat dissipation characteristics and relatively lightweight compared to copper.

Further, in aluminum, since an oxide may be formed in the air, welding may not be easily performed when manufacturing the vibration device 530, and thus, the coil 535 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include an Al layer (or a first metal layer) for heat dissipation and a metal cover layer (or a second metal layer) surrounding the Al layer. The metal capping layer may include one of Cu, Ag, and gold (Au). For example, the coil 535 may be a copper-clad aluminum wire covered with copper. The metal cover layer may be formed in a thin film type outside the first metal layer, and thus, does not greatly affect the weight increase of the coil 535. Accordingly, the weight of the coil 535 according to embodiments of the present disclosure may be reduced by about 60% compared to a coil including only Cu or Cu wire.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the bobbin 534 may include a structure of: the structure includes a material obtained by processing pulp or paper, Al or Mg or an alloy thereof, or a synthetic resin such as polyimide. For example, the bobbin 534 may be implemented with a polyimide film having relatively good heat dissipation characteristics and relatively light weight for preventing image quality defects of the display panel 110 caused by heat generated in the coil 535.

The polyimide film may have physical properties that are not changed over a wide temperature range of-273 ℃ to-400 ℃, and may have heat resistance, electrical insulation, flexibility, and non-flammability. In addition, since the polyimide film has good thermal and mechanical strength, the polyimide film may enhance reliability of the bobbin 534 and may reduce the generation of heat caused by vibration of the bobbin 534 based on excellent heat dissipation characteristics. For example, the polyimide film may be KAPTON, and may be a condensate of pyromellitic dianhydride and 4, 4' -oxydianiline, but is not limited thereto.

The center pole 533 may be received or inserted in the bobbin 534 and may guide the ascent or descent of the bobbin 534. For example, since the center pole 533 is accommodated or inserted in the bobbin 534, the outer circumferential surface of the center pole 533 may be surrounded by the bobbin 534. The center pole 533 may be referred to as a lift guide or pole piece, but the term is not limited thereto.

The bezel 536 may be disposed at a front edge (or front rim) of the base plate 531 and may support the damper 537. A bezel 536 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be provided at a front edge of the base plate 531 to have a height and a shape identical to that of the bobbin 534. According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the bezel 536 may include a hollow portion provided at the front edge of the base plate 531 to have a certain height and the same shape as that of the bobbin 534.

A damper 537 may be disposed or coupled between the rim 536 and the magnetic circuit unit. For example, a damper 537 may be disposed or coupled between the bezel 536 and the bobbin 534. The damper 537 may be referred to as a bracket (spider), a suspension, or an edge member, but the term is not limited thereto.

One end or portion of damper 537 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be attached to rim 536 and the other end or portion of damper 537 may be attached to the upper outer surface of spool 534. The damper 537 may have a corrugated structure between one end and the other end thereof, and may contract and relax based on the vertical movement of the bobbin 534 to control the vibration of the bobbin 534. Damper 537 may be connected between bobbin 534 and bezel 536 and may limit the vibration distance of bobbin 534 using a restoring force. For example, when the bobbin 534 vibrates by a distance or more or by a distance or less, the bobbin 534 may be restored to the original position by the restoring force of the damper 537.

Since the vibration means 530 is disposed between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300, the vibration means 530 should have a relatively thin thickness in order to reduce the thickness of the display device more thinly or slimmer the display device, whereby when the height (or thickness) of the bobbin 534 is reduced, the sound pressure level may be reduced. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of the reduction in sound pressure level due to the reduction in height of the bobbin 534, the inventors devised a structure in which the region of the damper 537 disposed in the vicinity of the bobbin 534 is wide. When the area of the damper 537 is enlarged, the inventors have recognized that the space where the line for applying current to the coil 535 is provided is narrowed, resulting in interference between the line and the damper 537. Therefore, through various experiments, the inventors have configured the damper 537 formed of a conductor and performing the function of a wiring.

The damper 537 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include a metal material electrically connected to the coil 535. For example, the damper 537 may be formed of stainless steel or copper (Cu), but is not limited thereto.

The vibration device 530 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a bobbin protecting member 538.

The bobbin protecting member 538 may be disposed on a front surface (or a front end portion) of the bobbin 534 and may transfer a lifting motion (or vibration) of the bobbin 534 to a rear surface of the display module 100. The bobbin protecting member 538 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may have a ring shape disposed on the front surface of the bobbin 534, a disc shape covering the entire front surface of the bobbin 534, or a cap shape surrounding the front surface and the upper outer surface of the bobbin 534, but the shape is not limited thereto. For example, the spool protection member 538 may be referred to as a spool ring, although the term is not so limited.

The sound generation module 500 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a connection member 550.

The connection member 550 may be disposed between the module structure 510 and the display module 100. The connection member 550 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be disposed between a front edge portion (or front peripheral portion) of the module structure 510 and a rear edge portion (or rear peripheral portion) of the display module 100. For example, the connection member 550 may be a double-sided tape or a double-sided tape foam tape, but is not limited thereto. The connection member 550 may provide a vibration space around the vibration device 530 between the module structure 510 and the display module 100. The vibration space may be referred to as a sound pressure space, a cabinet, a sound part, a resonance box, or a resonance part, but the term is not limited thereto.

The sound generating module 500 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a vibration transfer member 570.

The vibration transfer member 570 may be connected or coupled to each of the connection member 550 and the vibration device 530, and may vibrate based on the vibration of the vibration device 530 to transfer the vibration of the vibration device 530 to the display module 100.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a rear edge portion or a rear peripheral portion of the vibration transfer member 570 may be connected or coupled to the connection member 550, and a rear central portion of the vibration transfer member 570 may be coupled to a front surface of the bobbin 534 of the vibration device 530, or may be coupled to the bobbin protecting member 538 of the vibration device 530.

The vibration transfer member 570 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be formed of one or more materials of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg) alloy, Mg-lithium (Li) alloy, and aluminum alloy, but is not limited thereto. For example, the Mg alloy may include one or more materials of Al, zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn). The Mg alloy may be the lightest material among metal materials that may be used as a vibration plate of a speaker, may have relatively high non-rigidity (rigidity/specific gravity) and relatively high vibration damping capacity (capacity to absorb and gradually reduce vibration), and may have good dimensional stability against temperature change and time lapse.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the front surface of the vibration transfer member 570 may be coupled or connected to the rear surface of the display module 100 using the second member 430 (or the module adhesive member).

The second member 430 may be a double-sided adhesive member between the display module 100 and the vibration transfer member 570. The double-sided adhesive member may be a double-sided adhesive tape or a double-sided adhesive foam tape, but is not limited thereto. One surface (or a front surface) of the second member 430 may be disposed on or coupled to a rear surface of the display module 100, and the other surface (or a rear surface) of the second member 430 may be disposed on or coupled to a front surface of the vibration transfer member 570. For example, one surface of the second member 430 may be disposed on or fixed to the rear surface of the display module 100 in a state where the upper protective sheet is delaminated.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to facilitate assembly between the sound generation module 500 and the display module 100, the second member 430 may be coupled (or modularized) to the uppermost surface of the sound generation module 500, which is modularized as one element, and may be protected by an upper protection sheet. For example, the upper protective sheet may be referred to as an upper release sheet or a top liner, but the term is not limited thereto.

For example, all of the vibration transfer members 570 and the second members 430 may be omitted. For example, the sound generation module 500 may include an upper protective sheet coupled or connected to each of the connection member 550 and the vibration device 530. The upper protective sheet may be coupled or connected to each of the connection member 550 and the vibration device 530 to cover the entire front surface of the sound generating module 500, and thus, in the transfer process after the modularization process is performed on the sound generating module 500 modularized into one element, each of the vibration device 530 and the connection member 550 of the sound generating module 500 may be prevented from being exposed to the outside, and particles such as dust may be prevented from penetrating into the sound generating module 500. The upper protective sheet may be peeled off from the sound generation module 500 immediately before the assembly process between the sound generation module 500 and the display module 100.

Accordingly, the sound generation module 500 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be disposed between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300 in a state in which the module structure 510 and the vibration device 530 are modularized into one element, and thus, by using the display module 100 as a vibration plate, sound PVS based on vibration of the display panel 110 may be output and an outermost rear surface of the display device may not be exposed, thereby improving a rear appearance design of the display device.

Referring to fig. 3B and 3C, an adhesive member 522 may be disposed between the vibration device 530 and the module structure 510. The adhesive member 522 may include one or more of a double-sided tape, a double-sided tape foam pad, and an adhesive, but is not limited thereto. When the adhesive member 522 is provided, an assembly process may be simplified and a hole for fastening the screw or the nut and the bolt or the extension of the plate may not be required, compared to the screw or the nut and the bolt, thereby providing a slimmer vibration device. The description of the vibration device is the same as that given above with reference to fig. 3A, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

Referring to fig. 3B, the vibration device 530 may be asymmetrically disposed. When the vibration device 530 is asymmetrically disposed, a dip phenomenon (dip phenomenon) of a specific frequency can be reduced. For example, when standing waves occur at the upper, lower, left, and right portions with respect to the vibration device 530, a settling phenomenon may occur at the upper, lower, left, and right portions, but when the vibration device 530 is asymmetrically disposed, a phenomenon in which standing waves occur at the upper, lower, left, and right portions at the same time may be reduced. Accordingly, the settling phenomenon can be reduced, so that the sound characteristics can be further enhanced.

Referring to fig. 3D and 3E, the rear cover 300 may include a first rear cover 310 and a second rear cover 350. The description of the first and second rear covers 310 and 350 is the same as that given above with reference to fig. 2, and thus, the description thereof is omitted.

Referring to fig. 3D, a vibration device 530 may be received in the first rear cover 310. For example, the vibration device 530 may be provided at the removed portion of the first rear cover 310. The first back cover 310 may be attached to the vibration device 530 by an adhesive member 522. The adhesive member 522 may be disposed between the vibration device 530 and the second back cover 350. As another example, the adhesive member 522 may also be disposed between the vibration device 530 and the first back cover 310. For example, the adhesive member 522 may also be disposed between the extension 531a of the base plate 531 and the first rear cover 310. The adhesive member 522 may include one or more of a double-sided adhesive tape, a double-sided adhesive foam tape, a double-sided adhesive pad, a double-sided adhesive foam pad, and an adhesive, but is not limited thereto. A portion of the first rear cover 310 may be removed and the vibration device 530 may be disposed at the removed region of the first rear cover 310, and thus, the thickness of the vibration device 530 may be reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of the display apparatus. In addition, when the vibration device 530 is disposed adjacent to the first rear cover 310 and/or the second rear cover 350, abnormal vibration may occur when the vibration device 530 vibrates, and thus, the vibration device 530 may be spaced apart from the first rear cover 310 and/or the second rear cover 350 by a certain interval or distance D. For example, the vibration device 530 may be spaced apart from the first back cover 310 and/or the second back cover 350 by the spacing or distance D. For example, the spacing or distance D may be 1mm or greater, but is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 3E, a vibration device 530 may be received between the first and second back covers 310 and 350. For example, the bottom plate 531 of the vibration device 530 may have an exposed surface. The bottom plate 531 of the vibration device 530 may be disposed between the first rear cover 310 and the second rear cover 350. The bottom plate 531 of the vibration device 530 may be configured to penetrate the first and second rear covers 310 and 350. The adhesive member 522 may be disposed between the vibration device 530 and the first back cover 310. For example, the adhesive member 522 may be disposed at one side of the extension 531a of the base plate 531 and the first rear cover 310. The adhesive member 522 may include one or more of a double-sided tape, a double-sided tape foam pad, and an adhesive, but is not limited thereto. Since the bottom plate 531 of the vibration means 530 is configured to have an exposed surface, the thickness of the vibration means 530 can be reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of the display device. In addition, when the vibration device 530 is disposed adjacent to the first and second back covers 310 and 350, abnormal vibration may occur when the vibration device 530 vibrates, and thus, the vibration device 530 may be spaced apart from the first and second back covers 310 and 350 by a certain interval or distance D. For example, the vibration device 530 may be spaced apart from the first and second back covers 310 and 350 by the spacing or distance D. For example, the spacing or distance D may be 1mm or greater, but is not limited thereto.

Fig. 4 illustrates the connection member shown in fig. 3A to 3E.

Referring to fig. 3A to 3E and 4, the connection member 550 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include first to fourth connection portions 551 to 554. The first to fourth connection portions 551 to 554 may be first to fourth connection portions, respectively, but these terms are not limited thereto.

Each of the first to fourth connection portions 551 to 554 may have a linear shape having a certain width and length, and may be disposed between the module structure 510 and the vibration transfer member 570.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, with respect to the plan view of the modular structure 510 shown in fig. 4, the modular structure 510 may include a first front edge portion or a first front surface peripheral portion (or left side), a second front edge portion or a second front surface peripheral portion (or right side) parallel to the first front edge portion, a third front edge portion or a third front surface peripheral portion (or upper side) located between a portion of the first front edge portion and a portion of the second front edge portion, and a fourth front edge portion or a fourth front surface peripheral portion (or lower side) parallel to the third front edge portion and located between another portion of the first front edge portion and another portion of the second front edge portion.

The first connecting portions 551 may be disposed at a first front edge portion of the module structure 510, and the second connecting portions 552 may be disposed at a second front edge portion of the module structure 510. A third connecting portion 553 may be disposed at a third front edge portion of the modular structure 510 and a fourth connecting portion 554 may be disposed at a fourth front edge portion of the modular structure 510.

Each of the first to fourth connection portions 551 to 554 may have a structure separated from a corresponding corner of the module structure 510. For example, each of the first to fourth connection portions 551 to 554 may have a square (quadrangular) belt-like shape that is not separated therefrom, and in this case, materials other than the connection member 550 among raw materials for forming the connection member 550 may be wasted, resulting in an increase in material costs.

A portion of each of the first to fourth connection parts 551 to 554 may be disposed to contact an adjacent one of the first to fourth connection parts 551 to 554 at a corresponding corner of the module structure 510, and thus, external leakage of sound waves generated in a vibration space defined by the connection member 550 may be minimized.

At least one of the first to fourth connection portions 551 to 554 may include a plurality of

bent portions

553a and 554a facing the vibration device 530.

The sound waves generated when the display module 100 is vibrated by using the vibration generating device 530 may be radially diffused from the center of the vibration generating device and may be propagated. The acoustic wave may be referred to as a progressive wave. The progressive wave may be reflected by the connection member 550 to generate a reflected wave, and the reflected wave may travel in a direction opposite to the progressive wave. The reflected wave overlaps and interferes with the progressive wave and does not travel, thereby generating a standing wave that dwells at a specific location. The standing wave reduces the sound pressure, thereby degrading the sound output characteristic. Accordingly, the

bent portions

553a and 554a may be provided in the connection member 550 for reducing a phenomenon in which the sound pressure is lowered due to a standing wave generated by interference between the reflected wave and the progressive wave. For example, the

bent portions

553a and 554a may be disposed at a position where the level of each of the progressive wave and the reflected wave is highest, or at least one connection portion where the strongest sound wave among the first connection portion 551 to the fourth connection portion 554 reaches. For example, the bending

portions

553a and 554a may be disposed on an extension line EL of the center portion of the vibration device 530 to face the center portion of the vibration device 530, thereby minimizing a phenomenon in which sound pressure is reduced by standing waves.

According to some embodiments, the

bent portions

553a and 554a may be disposed in the third and

fourth connection portions

553 and 554. Further, the bending portions 553a and 55a may have a certain inclination angle θ with respect to a horizontal direction (or width direction) X of the display device. The inclination angle θ of each of the

bent portions

553a and 554a according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may vary based on the degree to which the standing wave is suppressed, and may be set to vary in a range of 10 degrees to 30 degrees, for example. For example, when the vibration device 530 outputs a sound of a bass band or the output of the vibration device 530 is large, the bending parts 553a and 553b may have a relatively large inclination angle θ. For example, when the vibration device 530 outputs a sound of a treble band or the output of the vibration device 530 is small, the

bent portions

553a and 554a may have a relatively small inclination angle θ.

The third and

fourth connection parts

553 and 554 may have a structure that is bilaterally symmetrical with respect to the

bent parts

553a and 554 a. The

bent portions

553a and 554a may have an open structure on an extension line EL of the center portion of the vibration device 530, but are not limited thereto, and may have a V-shaped closed structure. When the

bent portions

553a and 554a have an open structure on the extension line EL of the center portion of the vibration means 530, the material cost can be reduced compared to the closed structure. In addition, according to the sound characteristic experiment, the inventors have confirmed that there is very little or no difference in sound characteristics in the case where the

bent portions

553a and 554a have an open structure on the extension line EL of the center portion of the vibration device 530 and in the case where the

bent portions

553a and 554a have a closed structure on the extension line EL.

In addition, the

bent portions

553a and 554a may be identically or similarly applied to the first and

second connection portions

551 and 552.

At least one of the first to fourth connection portions 551 to 554 may include at least one

protrusion

555 and 556 facing the vibration device 530. For example, at least one

protrusion

555 and 556 may be provided in the first and

second connection portions

551 and 552, respectively, to face the central portion of the vibration device 530. The at least one

protrusion

555 and 556 may absorb (trap) the reflected wave, and may reduce a rising or sinking phenomenon caused by the standing wave, thereby minimizing a phenomenon of a drop in sound pressure.

Fig. 5A and 5B are diagrams for describing a damper structure of a vibration device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Fig. 5A shows a vibration device having a single body type structure, and fig. 5B shows a vibration device having a double body type structure. The dual body type structure may be referred to as a dual array structure. One vibration device according to the present disclosure may be configured in a double array structure or more array structures, and may be configured in a four array structure or a six array structure, for example.

Referring to fig. 3A to 3E and 5A, in the vibration device 530 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, a damper 537 may be connected to a bobbin 534 and a rim 536 provided on a base plate 531.

The damper 537 may be configured to act as a signal line or signal wiring, and thus may include a first damper 537-1 that receives positive power (or a positive voice signal) and a second damper 537-2 that receives negative power (or a negative voice signal).

For example, the damper 537 may be divided perpendicularly with respect to the width direction X. For example, with respect to a center line passing through the center portion of the bobbin 534 in the width direction X, the first damper 537-1 may be disposed above the center line, and the second damper 537-2 may be disposed below the center line. For example, the first damper 537-1 may be electrically connected to the first line terminal 530p, and the second damper 537-2 may be electrically connected to the second line terminal 530 m. The line terminal may be referred to as a line pad, but these terms are not limited thereto. For example, the first line terminal 530p may be a positive (+) terminal, and the second line terminal 530m may be a negative (-) terminal.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, each of the first and second dampers 537-1 and 537-2 may include an inner portion 537a, an outer portion 537b, and a plurality of damping portions 537 c.

The inner portion 537a may have a semi-circular (or oval) shape and may be coupled or connected to the bobbin 534. For example, the central portion of the inner portion 537a has a semicircular (or oval) shape. The inner portions 537a of the first and second dampers 537-1 and 537-2 may be spaced (or separated) from each other on a center line passing through the center portion of the bobbin 534 in the width direction X, and thus may be electrically disconnected from each other.

The outer portion 537b may have a semi-circular (or oval) shape to surround the inner portion 537a, and may be disposed on or coupled to the rim 536. For example, the central portion of the outer portion 537b having a semicircular (or oval) shape may be the same as the central portion of the bobbin 534. The outer portions 537b of the first and second dampers 537-1 and 537-2 may be spaced (or separated) from each other on a center line passing through the center portion of the bobbin 534 in the width direction X so as to be electrically disconnected from each other.

Each of the plurality of damping portions 537c may be connected between the inner portion 537a and the outer portion 537b to have a certain interval or distance (or equal interval). Each of the plurality of damping portions 537c according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may have an S-shape or a zigzag shape. Each of the plurality of dampers 537c may contract and relax based on the vertical movement of the inner portion 537a, which is based on the vertical movement of the bobbin 534, to control the vibration of the bobbin 534. For example, each of the plurality of dampers 537c may have a relatively longer length than the shortest distance between the rim 536 and the bobbin 534, and thus, in order to reduce the thickness of the vibration device 530 and improve the performance of the magnet 532, the length of the damper 537 may be set longer.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, one end or a portion of each of the plurality of damping portions 537c may be connected to the inner portion 537 a. For example, a connection portion between one end or a portion of each of the plurality of damping portions 537c and the inner portion 537a may be rounded (curved) into a curved shape, and thus, each of the damping portions 537c may be prevented from being torn by the vertical movement of the corresponding damping portion 537 c.

Referring to fig. 3A to 3E and 5B, a vibration device 530 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include two sub-vibration devices 530a and 530B provided on a base 531. The vibration device 530 including the two

sub-vibration devices

530a and 530b may be referred to as a double body type vibration device, but the term is not limited thereto.

In the dual type vibration device 530, the dampers 537 of the two

sub-vibration devices

530a and 530b may be connected in parallel with each other. The damper 537 of each of the two

sub-vibration devices

530a and 530b may be configured to serve as a signal line or signal wiring, and thus may include a first damper 537-1 receiving positive power (or a positive voice signal) and a second damper 537-2 receiving negative power (or a negative voice signal).

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the damper 537 of each of the two

sub-vibration devices

530a and 530b may be divided vertically with respect to the width direction X, and for example, with respect to a center line passing through a center portion of the bobbin 534 in the width direction X, the first damper 537-1 may be disposed above the center line, and the second damper 537-2 may be disposed below a portion of the center line. For example, the first damper 537-1 may be electrically connected to the first line terminal 530p, and the second damper 537-2 may be electrically connected to the second line terminal 530 m.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, each of the first and second dampers 537-1 and 537-2 may include an inner portion 537a, an outer portion 537b, and a plurality of damping portions 537 c. The description of each of the first and second dampers 537-1 and 537-2 is the same as that given above with reference to fig. 5A, and therefore, a duplicate description is omitted.

The first dampers 537-1 of the two

sub-vibration devices

530a and 530b may be electrically connected to each other at the central region of the base plate 531, and the second dampers 537-2 of the two

sub-vibration devices

530a and 530b may be electrically connected to each other at the central region of the base plate 531. Therefore, the dampers 537 of the two

sub-vibration devices

530a and 530b may be connected in parallel to each other.

In the vibration device 530 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, each of the first and

second line terminals

530p and 530m may be electrically connected to an audio amplifier (or an audio processor) through a signal cable (or a signal transmission member). Accordingly, the position of each of the first and

second line terminals

530p and 530m exposed at the bottom plate 531 may be changed to the corner of the bottom plate 531 in order to be easily electrically connected to the signal cable.

The vibration device 530 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may further include first to fourth brackets 539a to 539 d.

Each of the first to fourth brackets 539a to 539d may be disposed on or coupled to a corresponding side surface of the bottom plate 531. For example, the first bracket 539a may be provided at a first side surface (or a first short side) of the chassis 531, and the second bracket 539b may be provided at a second side surface (or a second short side) of the chassis 531. The third bracket 539c may be disposed at a third side surface (or a first long side) of the bottom plate 531, and the fourth bracket 539d may be disposed at a fourth side surface (or a second long side) of the bottom plate 531.

Each of the first through fourth brackets 539 a-539 d may be fixed to the module structure 510 by the module integrating member 520, and thus, the chassis 531 may be disposed on or fixed to the module structure 510.

For example, each of the first to fourth brackets 539a to 539d may be fixed to or provided at the module structure 510 by using the module integration member 520 such as double-sided tape. For example, one surface of each of the first to fourth brackets 539a to 539d facing the module structure 510 may be provided as a flat surface structure to increase an adhesive area with a double-sided adhesive tape.

As another example, each of the first through fourth brackets 539a through 539d may be fixed to or provided at the module structure 510 by using a module-integrating member 520 such as an adhesive (or a bonding member). For example, one surface of each of the first to fourth brackets 539a to 539d facing the module structure 510 may be provided as a concave-convex structure including a plurality of rib patterns RP for controlling adhesive flow and preventing the adhesive from overflowing.

As another example, each of the first through fourth brackets 539 a-539 d may be fixed to or provided to the module structure 510 by using a module integration member 520, such as a plurality of screws. For example, each of the first through fourth brackets 539 a-539 d facing the modular structure 510 may comprise at least one hole SH through which at least one screw is passed.

Each of the first to fourth brackets 539a to 539d may fundamentally include at least one hole SH, and one surface of each of the first to fourth brackets 539a to 539d may include a flat surface structure or a concavo-convex structure for compatibility based on a modular process performed between the vibration device 530 and the module structure 510 by using the module integrating member 520.

Fig. 6 illustrates an embodiment in which a heat dissipation structure is added to the sound generation module illustrated in fig. 3A to 3E. Therefore, except for elements related to the heat dissipation structure of the sound generation module, descriptions of the same elements will be briefly given or omitted hereinafter.

Referring to fig. 2 and 6, a sound generating module 500 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include a module structure 510 and a vibration device 530.

The module structure 510 may be a basic structure of the sound generation module 500, and may be disposed on or fixed to the rear cover 300 by using the first member 410. The module structure 510 may include a groove 510h overlapping the vibration device 530.

The groove 510h may be formed to vertically pass through the module structure 510 in the vertical direction Z, and may expose the rear surface of the vibration device 530 at the rear cover 300. For example, the groove 510h may have a circular, oval or polygonal shape, but is not limited thereto. The groove 510h may be referred to as a through hole or a hole, but the term is not limited thereto.

The size of the groove 510 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be smaller than the size of the rear surface of the vibration device 530. For example, the groove 510h according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a heat dissipation path through which heat generated in the vibration device 530 is propagated toward the rear cover 300.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the groove 510h may have a size that enables a portion of the rear surface of the vibration device 530 to be received or inserted therein. For example, the groove 510h may be a receiving hole that receives a portion of the rear surface of the vibration device 530, and may also be a heat dissipation path through which heat generated in the vibration device 530 propagates toward the rear cover 300. In addition, the groove 510h according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may reduce a distance between the rear surface of the vibration device 530 and the rear cover 300 to improve heat dissipation efficiency.

The structure is the same as that of the module shown in fig. 3A to 3E except that the module structure 510 further includes a groove 510h, and thus, a repetitive description thereof may be omitted.

The vibration device 530 may be integrally provided with the module structure 510 or provided at the module structure 510 by using the module integration member 520 to overlap the groove 510h of the module structure 510. The vibration device 530 may include an actuator (or exciter) disposed to contact the rear surface of the display module 100. For example, the vibration device 530 including the actuator may include a base plate 531, a magnet 532, a center pole 533, a bobbin 534, a coil 535, a bezel 536, a damper 537, and a hollow 530 h.

The elements of the vibration device 530 other than the bottom plate 531 and the hollow portion 530h are the same as those of the vibration device shown in fig. 3A to 3E, and thus their repetitive description is omitted.

The rear surface of the base plate 531 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be disposed on the groove 510h of the module structure 510. For example, when the size of the groove 510h of the module structure 510 is smaller than that of the bottom plate 531, the rearmost surface of the bottom plate 531 may be stably placed at the module structure 510 and may be disposed on the groove 510 h.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the rear surface of the bottom plate 531 may be inserted or received in the groove 510h of the module structure 510. For example, when the size of the groove 510h of the module structure 510 is equal to or greater than the size of the chassis 531, a portion of the rear surface of the chassis 531 may be inserted or received in the groove 510h of the module structure 510. For example, the rearmost surface of the bottom plate 531 may not protrude outside the rearmost surface of the module structure 510 through the groove 510h of the module structure 510, and may be disposed in the groove 510h of the module structure 510. Accordingly, the thickness of the sound generation module 500 may be reduced by the receiving height (or depth) or the inserting height (or depth) of the bottom plate 531 received or inserted into the groove 510h of the module structure 510, so that the sound generation module may become slim.

At least one of the extensions 531a (or the brackets 539a to 539d) of the chassis 531 and the module integration member 520 may be implemented such that a portion of the rear surface of the chassis 531 is received or inserted into the groove 510h of the module structure 510. For example, the extension 531a (or the brackets 539a to 539d) of the chassis 531 may have a relatively thin thickness, or extend from the upper surface of the chassis 531 to be spaced apart from the rear surface of the chassis 531 to the maximum extent, so that a portion of the rear surface of the chassis 531 is received or inserted into the groove 510h of the module structure 510. Further, the thickness of the module integration member 520 may be adjusted within a range such that a certain portion of the rear surface of the base plate 531 is received or inserted into the groove 510h of the module structure 510.

The hollow 530h may pass through each of the base plate 531, the magnet 532, and the center pole 533 in the vertical direction Z to overlap the groove 510h of the module structure 510. The hollow 530h may be a heat dissipation path through which heat generated due to the driving of the vibration device 530 is dissipated toward the rear cover 300, may increase sound pressure based on the driving of the vibration device 530, and may reduce the weight of the vibration device 530. Further, when the vibration space provided in the connection member 550 is sealed, the sound pressure generated based on the driving of the vibration device 530 may be insufficient due to the limited sealed space, but the sound pressure generated in the vibration space based on the driving of the vibration device 530 may be increased since the vibration space communicates with the outside through the hollow portion 530 h.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the vibration device 530 may further include a plurality of plate holes 531h, the plurality of plate holes 531h being disposed in the bottom plate 531 and overlapping the groove 510h of the module structure 510. A plurality of plate holes 531h may pass through the base plate 531 in the perpendicular direction Z, and thus may overlap at least one of the bobbin 534 and the magnet 532. For example, the plate hole 531h overlapping the magnet 532 may be blocked during the manufacturing process of the vibration device 530, and thus, the plate hole 531h may be provided in the bottom plate 531 overlapping the bobbin 534. For example, each of the plurality of plate holes 531h may be radially disposed in the rear surface of the base plate 531, but is not limited thereto. The plate hole 531h may be referred to as a vent hole, but the term is not limited thereto. The plurality of plate holes 531h may additionally radiate heat occurring in the vibration device 530.

Accordingly, the sound generation module 500 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include the groove 510h provided in the module structure 510 and the hollow part 530h and the plate hole 531h provided in the vibration device 530, thereby enhancing a heat dissipation function and increasing sound pressure generated in the vibration space based on the driving of the vibration device 530.

Fig. 7 illustrates a rear cover covering a rear surface of the sound generation module according to another embodiment of the present disclosure illustrated in fig. 6.

Fig. 7 shows an embodiment in which a plurality of holes (or ventilation holes) are additionally provided in the rear cover overlapping with the sound generation module. Therefore, hereinafter, descriptions of the same elements except for elements related to a plurality of holes will be briefly given or omitted.

Referring to fig. 2, 6 and 7, the back cover 300 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include a plurality of holes 300h overlapping the sound generating module 500.

Each of the plurality of holes 300h may be disposed to vertically penetrate through all of the second and first back covers 350 and 310 of the back cover 300 in the thickness direction Z, and may overlap the vibration device 530.

A plurality of holes 300h may be radially disposed to overlap the hollow 530h disposed in the vibration device 530. The plurality of holes 300h according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be radially arranged at a certain interval or distance (or equal interval) with respect to the center portion of the hollow portion 530h provided in the vibration device 530. For example, the plurality of holes 300h may be arranged at intervals on respective circumferences of a plurality of concentric circles forming a concentric shape together with the hollow 530h provided in the vibration device 530.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, each of the plurality of holes 300h may have a width and a length that are set within a range that does not degrade the compact back design of the display device. When each of the plurality of holes 300h has a hole shape or a line shape whose size can be easily seen in the rear cover 300, a compact rear design of the display apparatus may not be achieved. Accordingly, each of the plurality of holes 300h may have a size that enables external air of the display apparatus to flow in or out through the sound generation module 500 or the hollow 530h provided in the vibration device 530, and thus, a compact back design of the display apparatus may not be reduced.

Fig. 8 is another schematic sectional view taken along line I-I' shown in fig. 1, and illustrates a display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 1 and 8, a display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include one sound generation module 500 between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300.

The display module 100 and the rear cover 300 are the same as those shown in fig. 2 and 3A to 3E, and thus their repeated descriptions are omitted.

One sound generation module 500 may be configured by modularizing the first sound generation module 500-1 and the second sound generation module 500-2 of fig. 2 and fig. 3A-3E into one element.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, one sound producing module 500 may include a module structure 1510, a first vibratory device 530-1, and a second vibratory device 530-2.

The module structure 1510 may be disposed on or fixed to the back cover 300 by using the first member 410 (or the first module fixing member). The rear surface of the module structure 1510 may be completely covered by the rear cover 300 and thus may be hidden without being directly exposed to the outermost rear surface of the display device. The module structure 1510 is the same as the module structure shown in fig. 2 and 3A to 3E except that the module structure 510 of each of the first and second sound generating modules 500-1 and 500-2 of fig. 2 and 3A to 3E is configured as one plate structure, and thus a repetitive description thereof is omitted.

The first vibration device 530-1 may be disposed at or fixed to a first region of the module structure 1510 and may vibrate the display module 100 (e.g., a first region (or left region) of the display panel 110). For example, the first vibration device 530-1 may be disposed on or secured to a first region of the module structure 1510, or may be disposed integrally with the module structure 1510, using the module-integrating member 520. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first vibration device 530-1 may be disposed at a central portion of the first region of the module structure 1510, or may be disposed near an edge or a peripheral portion of the first region of the module structure 1510.

The second vibration device 530-2 may be disposed at or fixed to a second region of the module structure 1510 and may vibrate the display module 100 (e.g., a second region (or right region) of the display panel 110). For example, a second vibratory device 530-2 may be disposed or secured to a second region of the module structure 1510, or may be integrally disposed with the module structure 1510, using the module integration member 520. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second vibration device 530-2 may be disposed at a central portion of the second region of the module structure 1510, or may be disposed near an edge or peripheral portion of the second region of the module structure 1510. For example, the second vibratory device 530-2 may be disposed symmetrically with respect to the first vibratory device 530-1 with respect to a central portion of the module structure 1510.

Each of the first and second vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 is identical to the vibration device shown in fig. 2 and 3A to 3E except that each of the first and second vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 is provided as a single module structure 1510, and thus a repetitive description thereof is omitted. Further, each of the first and second vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 may have a single body type structure as shown in FIG. 5A, but is not limited thereto, and may have a double body type structure as shown in FIG. 5B.

One sound generation module 500 shown in fig. 8 is illustrated as including two vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2, but is not limited thereto, and may include three or more vibration devices. In the case of including three or more vibration devices, three or more channels of stereo PVS may be output based on the vibration of each of the three or more vibration devices embedded in one sound generation module 500.

A sound producing module 500 may further include a connecting member 550 and a separating member 560.

A connecting member 550 may be disposed between the module structure 1510 and the display module 100. For example, the connecting member 550 may be disposed between an edge or peripheral portion of the module structure 1510 and the display module 100. For example, the connecting member 550 may be configured to completely surround the plurality of vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 disposed or secured to the module structure 1510.

A partition member 560 may be disposed between the plurality of vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 disposed or fixed to the module structure 1510, and the partition member 560 may spatially separate the first region and the second region of the module structure 1510. For example, the partition member 560 may include first and

second partitions

561, 562 disposed in parallel in a central region between first and second regions of the module structure 1510. The first and

second partitions

561 and 562 may reduce an influence on sound characteristics due to a difference in resonance frequency of a medium and high pitched sound based on a vibration generated in each of the first and second regions (for example, the first and second regions of the display panel 110) of the module structure 1510 in the display module 100.

A sound producing module 500 may also include a vibration transfer member 1570 and a second member 430.

The vibration transfer member 1570 may be disposed at or coupled to each of the plurality of vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 and the connection member 550 and the partition member 560 and may vibrate based on the vibration of each of the plurality of vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 to transfer the vibration of each of the plurality of vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 to the display module 100 (e.g., the display panel 110). The vibration transfer member 1570 is identical to the vibration device shown in fig. 2 and 3A to 3E except that the vibration transfer member 1570 is additionally coupled to each of the plurality of vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 and the partition member 560, and thus a repeated description thereof is omitted.

The second member 430 may be a double-sided adhesive member disposed between the display module 100 and the vibration transfer member 570. The double-sided adhesive member may be a double-sided adhesive tape or a double-sided adhesive foam tape, but is not limited thereto. The second member 430 is the same as the second member 430 shown in fig. 3A to 3E, and thus, a repetitive description thereof is omitted.

Accordingly, a display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include one sound generation module 500 in which one module structure 1510 and a plurality of vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 are modularized into one element, and thus, the assembling performance or assembly of the sound generation module 500 may be further improved in the process of assembling the modules, thereby improving the production yield of the display apparatus.

Fig. 9 illustrates the connecting member and the partition member illustrated in fig. 3A to 3E.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, the connection member 550 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include first to fourth connection parts 1551 to 1554.

Each of the first to fourth connection portions 1551 to 1554 may be disposed between a front edge or a peripheral portion of the module structure 1510 and the display module 100, or may be disposed between a front edge or a peripheral portion of the module structure 1510 and the vibration transfer member 1570.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, each of the first to fourth connection parts 1551 to 1554 may have a linear shape having a specific width and length.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, with respect to the plan view of the modular structure 1510 shown in fig. 9, the modular structure 1510 may include a first front edge portion or a first front surface peripheral portion (or left side), a second front edge portion or a second front surface peripheral portion (or right side) parallel to the first front edge portion, a third front edge portion or a third front surface peripheral portion (or upper side) located between a portion of the first front edge portion and a portion of the second front edge portion, and a fourth front edge portion or a fourth front surface peripheral portion (or lower side) parallel to the third front edge portion and located between another portion of the first front edge portion and another portion of the second front edge portion.

First coupling portions 1551 may be disposed at a first front edge portion of the module structure 1510 and second coupling portions 1552 may be disposed at a second front edge portion of the module structure 1510. Third connecting portions 1553 may be disposed at a third front edge portion of the module structure 1510 and fourth connecting portions 1554 may be disposed at a fourth front edge portion of the module structure 1510.

Each of the first through fourth connection parts 1551 through 1554 may have a structure separated from a corresponding corner of the module structure 1510. For example, each of the first to fourth connection parts 1551 to 1554 may have a square (quadrangular) band shape not separated therefrom, and in this case, materials other than the connection member 550 among raw materials for forming the connection member 550 may be wasted, resulting in an increase in material costs.

A portion of each of the first to fourth connection parts 1551 to 1554 may be disposed to contact an adjacent one of the first to fourth connection parts 1551 to 1554 at a corresponding corner of the module structure 1510, and thus, external leakage of sound waves generated in a vibration space defined by the connection member 550 may be minimized.

At least one of the first through fourth connection parts 1551 through 1554 may include a plurality of

bent parts

1553a and 1554a facing the first and second vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2.

Each of the plurality of

bent portions

1553a and 1554a may be disposed at a position where a level of each of the progressive wave and the reflected wave is highest, or at least one connection portion where a strongest sound wave among the first to fourth connection portions 1551 to 1554 reaches. For example, each of the plurality of

bent portions

1553a and 1554a may be disposed on an extension line EL of a central portion of each of the first and second vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2 to face the central portion of each of the first and second vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2, thereby minimizing a phenomenon in which sound pressure is reduced by standing waves.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of

bent portions

1553a and 1554a may be disposed in the third connection part 1553 and the fourth connection part 1554. In addition, the plurality of

bent portions

1553a and 1554a may have a certain inclination angle θ with respect to a horizontal direction (or width direction) X of the display device. The inclination angle θ of each of the plurality of

bent portions

1553a and 1554a according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may vary based on the degree to which the standing wave is suppressed, and may be set to vary in a range of 10 degrees to 30 degrees, for example.

Each of the plurality of

bent portions

1553a and 1554a may have an open structure on an extension line EL of a central portion of the corresponding vibration device of the first and second vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2, but is not limited thereto, and may have a V-shaped closed structure.

In addition, each of the plurality of

bent portions

1553a and 1554a may be identically or similarly applied to at least one of the first connection part 1551 and the second connection part 1552.

At least one of the first to fourth connection parts 1551 to 1554 may include at least one

protrusion

555 and 556 facing a corresponding one of the first and second vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2. For example, at least one

protrusion

555 and 556 may be respectively provided in the first and

second connection parts

1551 and 1552 to face a central portion of a corresponding one of the first and second vibration devices 530-1 and 530-2. The at least one

protrusion

555 and 556 may absorb the reflected wave, and may reduce a rising or sinking phenomenon caused by the standing wave, thereby minimizing a phenomenon of a drop in sound pressure. The at least one

protrusion

555 and 556 may be referred to as a first protrusion, but the term is not limited thereto.

The partition member 560 may include first and

second partitions

561, 562 disposed in parallel in a central region between first and second regions of the module structure 1510.

Each of the first and

second partitions

561 and 562 may be disposed between the third and

fourth connection parts

1553 and 1554 in parallel with each of the first and

second connection parts

1551 and 1552. For example, each of the first and

second partitions

561 and 562 may have the same width as that of each of the first to fourth connection parts 1551 to 1554, but is not limited thereto.

An end of a portion of each of the first and

second partitions

561 and 562 may approach the third connection part 1553 in a state of contacting or not contacting the third connection part 1553. An end of the other part of each of the first and

second partitions

561 and 562 may approach the fourth connection part 1554 in a state of contacting or not contacting the fourth connection part 1554. The first and

second partitions

561 and 562 may reduce an influence on sound characteristics caused by a difference in resonance frequency of a medium and high pitched sound based on vibration generated in each of the first and second regions (e.g., the first and second regions of the display panel 110) of the module structure 1510 in the display module 100.

The first and

second partitions

561 and 562 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one

second protrusion

563 and 564, respectively.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, at least one second protrusion 563 in the first partition 561 may be disposed in the first partition 561 to face a central portion of the first vibration device 530-1. At least one second protrusion 564 in the second partition 562 may be provided in the second partition 562 to face a central portion of the second vibration device 530-2. The

second tabs

563 and 564 may have the same or different length as the

first tabs

555 and 556. For example, the

second tabs

563 and 564 may have a longer length than the

first tabs

555 and 556. The at least one

protrusion

563 and 564 may absorb the reflected wave and may reduce a rising or sinking phenomenon caused by the standing wave, thereby minimizing a phenomenon of a drop in sound pressure.

Fig. 10 is another sectional view taken along line I-I' shown in fig. 1. Fig. 11 illustrates the rear cover shown in fig. 10.

Fig. 10 illustrates an embodiment in which a module receiving part is additionally provided in a rear cover according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Therefore, hereinafter, a description of the same elements except for the module receiving part and elements related thereto will be briefly given or omitted.

Referring to fig. 10 and 11, the rear cover 300 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include at least one module receiving part 370 in which at least one sound generating module 500 is received.

At least one module receiving part 370 may be provided in the first rear cover 310 of the rear cover 300 and may be covered by the second rear cover 350. For example, at least one module receiving part 370 may be disposed to vertically penetrate the first rear cover 310 of the rear cover 300 in the thickness direction Z, and may be covered by the second rear cover 350. In order to make the thickness of the display device slim and improve the compact back design of the display device, at least one module receiving part 370 may be provided only in the first back cover 310, not in the second back cover 350, and thus may not be exposed to the outside of the back cover 300. At least one module receiving part 370 may not completely penetrate the back cover 300, and thus may be referred to as a module receiving groove. The at least one module receiving part 370 may be referred to as a module insertion part, a module insertion groove, a module receiving part, a module receiving groove, or a groove, but the term is not limited thereto.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the rear cover 300 may include two module receiving parts 370 in which the first sound generating module 500-1 and the second sound generating module 500-2 are received or disposed, respectively.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, each of the two module receiving parts 370 may have a size capable of receiving the corresponding sound generating module 500 therein. Further, each of the two module receiving parts 370 may have a height (or depth) smaller than the total height of the sound generating module 500. Each of the two module receiving parts 370 may be disposed to pass through the first rear cover 310, and thus, the thickness (or depth) of the first rear cover 310 is less than the total height of the sound generating module 500. When the thickness of the first rear cover 310 is greater than the total height of the sound generation module 500, the height of the gap space GS provided between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300 may be insufficient, and thus, a desired sound may not be generated or noise such as friction sound may occur due to physical contact between the first rear cover 310 and the display module 100 vibrating based on the driving of the vibration device 530. Accordingly, the thickness of the first rear cover 310 or the height (or depth) of the module receiving part 370 may be set within a range that prevents physical contact between the first rear cover 310 and the display module 100 vibrating based on the driving of the vibration device 530.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the at least one sound generating module 500 is the same as the sound generating module shown in fig. 2 to 5B except that the at least one sound generating module 500 is disposed on the rear surface of the display module 100 and at the second rear cover 350 exposed by the module receiving part 370 by using the first member 410 (or the module fixing member), and thus a repetitive description thereof is omitted.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the rear cover 300 may include one module receiving part 370 in which one sound generation module 500 shown in fig. 8 and 9 is received and disposed. Even for example, one module accommodating part 370 may be disposed to vertically penetrate the first rear cover 310 of the rear cover 300 in the thickness direction Z, and may be covered by the second rear cover 350.

Therefore, in the display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, since at least one sound generation module 500 is received and disposed in the module receiving part 370 in the rear cover 300, the thickness may be reduced by the height (or depth) of the module receiving part 370, and the weight may be reduced by the size of the module receiving part 370. In the display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, since the sound generating module 500 is received and disposed in the module receiving part 370 in the rear cover 300, an assembling process between the sound generating module 500 and the rear cover 300 may be simplified.

As another example, the rear cover 300 may include a plurality of holes 300h overlapping with at least one module receiving part 370.

Each of the plurality of holes 300h may be disposed to vertically penetrate the second back cover 350 of the back cover 300 in the thickness direction Z, and may be connected to (or communicated with) at least one module receiving part 370. The plurality of holes 300h may be radially disposed to overlap the sound generation module 500 received in the at least one module receiving part 370. For a concise backside design of the display device, the description of fig. 7 may be equally applied to the shape and size of each of the plurality of holes 300h, and thus, a repetitive description is omitted.

Fig. 12 illustrates a display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 13 is a sectional view taken along line II-II' shown in fig. 12.

Fig. 12 and 13 illustrate an embodiment in which the structure of the sound generation module is modified in the display device illustrated in fig. 10 and 11. Therefore, hereinafter, a repetitive description of elements other than the sound generation module will be briefly given or omitted.

Referring to fig. 12 and 13, a display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one sound generation module 500 disposed between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300 to vibrate the display module 100, and the at least one sound generation module 500 may be received and disposed in at least one module receiving part 370 provided in the rear cover 300.

At least one module receiving part 370 in the back cover 300 is the same as the module receiving part shown in fig. 10 and 11, and thus, a repetitive description thereof will be omitted.

The at least one sound generation module 500 may be received and disposed in the at least one module receiving part 370 provided in the back cover 300 while being modularized as one element. At least one sound generation module 500 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be received in at least one module receiving part 370 provided in the first rear cover 310 of the rear cover 300, and may be supported by a front surface of the first rear cover 310. For example, the at least one sound generation module 500 may have a box structure having one side opened and including a border (border). The at least one sound generation module 500 may directly vibrate the display module 100 to generate the sound PVS based on the vibration of the display module 100 (e.g., the display panel 110).

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the rear central portion of the sound generation module 500 may pass through the module receiving part 370, and may be disposed on or fixed to the second rear cover 350 by using the first member 410 (or the module fixing member). The rim or boundary portion of the sound generation module 500 may be supported by (or stably placed on) the front surface of the first rear cover 310, and may be disposed on or coupled to the display module 100 (e.g., the rear surface of the display panel 110) by using the connection member 550, or may be disposed on or coupled to the rear surface of the heat dissipation member 150 disposed on the rearmost surface of the display module 100 by using the connection member 550.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the sound generation module 500 may be disposed on or fixed to the second back cover 350 by a plurality of screws. For example, the edge portion or the boundary portion of the sound generation module 500 may be disposed on or fastened to the first back cover 310 by a plurality of screws. For example, each of a plurality of screws may pass through the edge portion of the sound generation module 500 and the connection member 550, and may be disposed or fastened to the first back cover 310.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the sound generation module 500 may be disposed or fixed to the second back cover 350 by bolts and nuts. The nut may be disposed on or fixed to a front surface of the first back cover 310 overlapping with the edge portion of the sound generation module 500. The bolt may pass through the edge portion of the sound generation module 500 and the connection member 550, and may be fastened to the nut. The nut according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a self-tightening nut fixed to the front surface of the first back cover 310.

Therefore, in the display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, since at least one sound generation module 500 is received and disposed in the module receiving part 370 provided in the rear cover 300, the thickness may be reduced by the height (or depth) of the module receiving part 370, and the weight may be reduced by the size of the module receiving part 370. In the display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, since the sound generating module 500 is received and disposed in the module receiving part 370 provided in the rear cover 300, an assembling process between the sound generating module 500 and the rear cover 300 may be simplified.

Fig. 14 shows the sound generation module shown in fig. 12 and 13. Fig. 15 shows the module structure shown in fig. 14.

Referring to fig. 12 to 15, a sound generating module 500 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include a module structure 2510, a vibration device 530, a connection member 550, and a module adhesive member 450.

The module structure 2510 may be received and disposed in the module receiving part 370 in the back cover 300, and may fix (or support) the vibration device 530. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the module structure 2510 may comprise a formable (metallic) material.

A modular structure 2510 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include a rim or boundary portion 511, a bottom portion 513, and an angled portion 515. The edge portion 511, the bottom portion 513, and the slope portion 515 may be referred to as a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, respectively, but these terms are not limited thereto.

The rim 511 may have a square (e.g., quadrangular) belt shape, and may be supported by (or stably placed on) a front surface of the rear cover 300 (e.g., the first rear cover 310) adjacent to the module receiving part 370. For example, the rim 511 may be a rim (or edge or peripheral edge or boundary) of a metal plate as a base member for forming the modular structure 2510.

The bottom 513 may be disposed on or fixed to the second rear cover 350 of the rear cover 300 exposed by the module receiving part 370. For example, the bottom 513 may pass through the module accommodating part 370 and may be disposed on or fixed to the second back cover 350 by using the first member 410 (or the module fixing member).

The inclined portion 515 may be provided to be inclined between the rim portion 511 and the bottom portion 513, so that a receiving space may be defined on the bottom portion 513. For example, the bottom 513 and the inclined portion 515 may have such a structure by using a forming process using molding: portions of the metal plate other than the rim portion protrude toward the rear cover 300. The bottom part 513 and the inclined part 515 may be referred to as a receiving part, a forming part, or a pocket part for receiving the vibration device 530, but these terms are not limited thereto.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a height H of the inclined portion 515 or a height H between a rear surface of the bottom portion 513 and a rear surface of the rim portion 511 may be equal to or less than a height of the first rear cover 310. When the height H of the inclined part 515 is greater than the height of the first rear cover 310, the rim part 511 may not be stably supported by the front surface of the first rear cover 310, and a portion of the inclined part 515 and the rim part 511 may protrude upward from the front surface of the first rear cover 310, causing a problem in that a portion of the inclined part 515 and the rim part 511 vibrate based on the vibration of the display module 100. Accordingly, the height H of the inclined part 515 or the height H between the rear surface of the bottom part 513 and the rear surface of the rim part 511 may be equal to or less than the height of the first rear cover 310, so that the rim part 511 is stably supported to (or stably placed on) the front surface of the first rear cover 310.

The vibration device 530 may be received in a receiving space of the module structure 2510. The vibration device 530 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be disposed or fixed to the bottom 513 of the module structure 2510 and may vibrate the display module 100 (e.g., the display panel 110). By using the module integration member 520, the vibration device 530 may be disposed or secured to the module structure 2510, or may be disposed integrally with the module structure 2510, and thus, the vibration device 530 and the module structure 2510 may be modularized as one element.

The vibration device 530 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include any sound device or vibration generating device for vibrating the display module 100 based on an electrical signal. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the vibration device 530 may include an actuator (or exciter) disposed to contact the rear surface of the display module 100. For example, the vibration device 530 including the actuator may include a base 531, a magnet 532, a center pole 533, a bobbin 534, a coil 535, a bezel 536, and a damper 537. These elements are the same as those of the vibration device shown in fig. 2 to 5B, and thus their repetitive description is omitted.

The uppermost surface of the vibration device 530 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be disposed on the same uppermost surface extension line HL (or horizontal line) as the rim part 511 of the module structure 2510, or may protrude upward from the uppermost surface extension line of the rim part 511. For example, when the uppermost surface of the vibration device 530 is disposed below the uppermost surface extension line HL of the edge 511 and is completely received in the receiving space of the module structure 2510, it may be difficult to couple or connect the vibration device 530 to the rear surface of the display module 100. Accordingly, by using only a simple module arrangement process, the uppermost surface of the vibration device 530 may protrude upward from the uppermost surface extension line HL of the edge 511 for coupling or connecting the vibration device 530 to the rear surface of the display module 100.

The connection member 550 may be disposed between the rim 511 of the module structure 2510 and the rear surface of the display module 100, and thus, a gap space GS may be disposed between the rear surface of the display module 100 and the rear cover 300, and the module structure 2510 may be disposed at or coupled to the rear surface of the display module 100.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, one surface (or front surface) of the connection member 550 may be disposed on or coupled to a rear surface of the heat dissipation member 150 coupled with the display module 100 (e.g., the display panel 110 or the rear surface of the display panel 110), and the other surface (or rear surface) of the connection member 550 may be disposed on or coupled to the rim 511 of the module structure 2510. For example, the connection member 550 may be a double-sided adhesive tape or a double-sided adhesive foam tape, but is not limited thereto. The connection member 550 may provide a vibration space around the vibration device 530 between the module structure 2510 and the display module 100.

The module adhesive member 450 may be a double-sided adhesive member between the display module 100 and the vibration device 530. The double-sided adhesive member may be a double-sided adhesive tape or a double-sided adhesive foam tape, but is not limited thereto. One surface (or front surface) of the module adhesive member 450 may be disposed on or coupled to a rear surface of the heat discharging member 150 disposed in the display module 100 (e.g., the display panel 110 or the rear surface of the display panel 110), and the other surface (or rear surface) of the module adhesive member 450 may be disposed on or coupled to the bobbin 534 or the bobbin protecting member 538 of the vibration device 530.

As another example, the heat discharging member 150 coupled to or disposed at the rear surface of the display panel 110 may be integrally provided with the sound generation module 500. For example, the heat discharging member 150 may be coupled to or disposed at each of the connection member 550 and the module adhesive member 450 of the sound generating module 500 to cover the front surface of the sound generating module 500, and thus, in the transfer process after the modularization process is performed on the sound generating module 500 modularized as one element, each of the vibration device 530 and the connection member 550 and the module adhesive member 450 of the sound generating module 500 may be prevented from being exposed to the outside, and particles such as dust may be prevented from penetrating into the sound generating module 500.

The sound generation module 500 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a recess provided in the bottom 513 of the module structure 2510 to overlap with the vibration device 530; a hollow portion passing through each of the bottom plate 531, the magnet 532, and the center pole 533 of the vibration device 530 in the vertical direction Z to overlap the groove; and at least one of a plurality of plate holes provided in the bottom plate 531 to overlap each of the magnet 532 and the bobbin 534 of the vibration device 530. For example, each of the groove, the hollow portion, and the plurality of plate holes may substantially and respectively correspond to each of the groove 510h and the hollow portion 530h and the plurality of plate holes 531h of the sound generation module 500 shown in fig. 6, and thus, a repetitive description thereof is omitted. For example, each of the groove 510h and the hollow 530h and the plurality of plate holes 531h of the sound generation module 500 shown in fig. 6 may be identically or similarly applied to the corresponding element of the sound generation module shown in fig. 14.

Fig. 16A illustrates a rear surface of a module structure of a sound generating module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 16B illustrates a voice signal cable and a vibration device provided in a modular structure of a sound generation module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 16A and 16B, a module structure 2510 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a groove 510h and a plurality of cable holes 517 (or cable through-holes).

The recess 510h may be disposed through the bottom 513 of the module structure 2510 in the vertical direction Z to overlap the vibration device 530. The groove 510h may receive a portion of the rear surface of the vibration device 530. For example, the groove 510h may have a square (e.g., quadrangular) shape corresponding to the bottom plate 531 of the vibration device 530, but is not limited thereto. For example, the groove 510h may have a circular or oval shape.

The grooves 510h according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may expose the

line terminals

530p and 530m of the vibration device 530 at the rear surface of the module structure 2510.

Each of the plurality of cable holes 517 may extend from a corresponding corner of the groove 510h to have a specific size and shape, and may communicate with the corresponding corner of the groove 510 h. For example, each of the plurality of cable holes 517 may be a path through which a voice signal cable 590 electrically connected to the

line terminals

530p and 530m of the vibration device 530 exposed at the groove 510h is discharged to the receiving space of the module structure 2510. Accordingly, the voice signal cable 590 may be electrically connected to the

line terminals

530p and 530m of the vibration device 530 exposed at the groove 510h, and then may be discharged to the receiving space of the module structure 2510 through the corresponding cable hole 517, and the voice signal cable 590 discharged to the receiving space of the module structure 2510 may be discharged to the outside of the module structure 2510 via the bottom 513, the inclined portion 515, and the rim portion 511 of the module structure 2510.

The module structure 2510 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can accommodate the voice signal cable 590 connected to the

line terminals

530p and 530m of the vibration device 530, and thus, in the transfer process after performing the modularization process on the sound generation module 500 modularized as one element, defects such as disconnection of the voice signal cable 590 can be prevented.

Fig. 17 is a diagram for describing an arrangement structure of a voice signal cable through which a voice signal is applied to a sound generation module.

Referring to fig. 12 and 17, a voice signal cable 590 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be disposed between the display module 100 and the sound generating module 500, and may be discharged to the outside through a cable discharge hole 390 provided in the rear cover 300.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, one end or a portion of the voice signal cable 590 may be electrically connected to a line terminal provided in the corresponding sound generation module 500. For example, one end or a portion of the voice signal cable 590 may be electrically connected to a line terminal provided in the corresponding sound generation module 500 by soldering.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the other end or another portion of the voice signal cable 590 may be discharged to the outside of the receiving space of the corresponding sound generation module 500 via the receiving space of the corresponding sound generation module 500 and the space between the display module 100 and the sound generation module 500, and then, may pass through the cable discharge hole 390 via the space between the display module 100 and the rear cover 300, and may be discharged to the outside of the display apparatus. In fig. 17, a portion of the voice signal cable 590 shown by a dotted line may be covered by the rear cover 300 and thus may not be seen from the rear surface of the rear cover 300, and another portion of the voice signal cable 590 shown by a thick solid line may be discharged to the outside of the display apparatus via the cable discharge hole 390 and thus may be seen from the rear surface of the rear cover 300. In addition, the voice signal cable 590 discharged through the cable discharge hole 390 may be covered by a circuit cover or a cover cap covering the circuit unit of the display device.

Accordingly, since the voice signal cable 590 and the sound generation module 500 are covered by the rear cover 300, the display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may have its compact rear design.

Fig. 18 illustrates a display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 19 is a sectional view taken along the line III-III' shown in fig. 18. Fig. 20 is another sectional view taken along the line III-III' shown in fig. 18. Fig. 21 is another sectional view taken along the line III-III' shown in fig. 18.

Fig. 18 and 19 illustrate an embodiment in which the structure of the rear cover according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is modified based on the display apparatus illustrated in fig. 12 to 17. Therefore, hereinafter, descriptions of the same elements except for the rear cover and its related elements will be briefly given or omitted.

First, in the display apparatus shown in fig. 12 to 17, the rear cover 300 may include a plurality of module receiving parts 370, and the sound generating module 500, which is modularized as one element, is received or inserted into the plurality of module receiving parts 370. In a display apparatus having only one sound generation module 500 based on a finished structure of the display apparatus, the rear cover 300 including only one module receiving part 370 may be used. Further, in the display apparatus without the sound generation module 500 based on the finished structure of the display apparatus, the rear cover 300 without the module receiving part 370 may be used. It may take a lot of costs to manufacture the rear cover corresponding to each finished structure of the display device, and thus, the manufacturing cost of the display device may increase. In order to solve such a problem, a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a rear cover: the rear cover is versatile regardless of the final product configuration. For example, the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include a general rear cover regardless of whether the display apparatus does not include the sound generation module 500 or the display apparatus includes the sound generation module 500, and thus, costs (e.g., molding costs) taken to manufacture the rear cover based on a finished structure of the display apparatus may be reduced, and by modularizing the sound generation module, the degree of freedom of whether the finished product is the sound generation module provided or not may be improved.

Referring to fig. 18 and 19, a display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include first to third sound generation modules 500-1 to 500-3 disposed between a display module 100 and a rear cover 1300.

The display module 100 is the same as the display module shown in fig. 2 and 3A to 3E, and thus a repetitive description thereof is omitted.

The rear cover 1300 may be a general rear cover, and may include a plurality of module receiving parts 370a to 370 c. Each of the plurality of module receiving parts 370 may be disposed to pass through the first back cover 310 of the back cover 1300 in the vertical direction Z. For example, the rear cover 1300 may include a first module receiving part 370a overlapping a first region (or a left region) of the display module 100, a second module receiving part 370b overlapping a second region (or a right region) of the display module 100, and a third module receiving part 370c overlapping a third region (or a central region) of the display module 100 between the first and second regions.

The first, second, and third sound generation modules 500-1, 500-2, and 500-3 may be received and disposed in the plurality of

module receiving parts

370a, 370b, and 370c, respectively, and may vibrate the first to third regions of the display module 100 (e.g., the display panel 110), respectively and individually. Each of the first, second, and third sound generation modules 500-1, 500-2, and 500-3 is the same as the sound generation modules shown in fig. 3A-3E, 6, 10, and 14-16B, and thus, their repeated description is omitted.

Accordingly, the display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may output three-channel stereo sound based on the left sound LS, the right sound RS, and the center sound CS according to vibration of the display module 100 (e.g., the display panel 110) based on driving of each of the first sound generation module 500-1, the second sound generation module 500-2, and the third sound generation module 500-3.

As another example, a display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include some of the first, second, and third sound generation modules 500-1, 500-2, and 500-3 based on a finished structure. For example, a display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may not include the third sound generation module 500-3 of the first, second, and third sound generation modules 500-1, 500-2, and 500-3, and may include the first and second sound generation modules 500-1 and 500-2. For example, as shown in fig. 18 and 20, each of the first and second sound generating modules 500-1 and 500-2 including the vibration device 530 may be received and disposed in the first and second

module receiving parts

370a and 370b provided in the back cover 1300, respectively, and may vibrate the first and second areas of the display module 100 (e.g., the display panel 110) respectively and individually, thereby outputting a two-channel stereo sound based on the left and right sounds LS and RS based on the vibration of each of the first and second areas of the display panel 110.

Further, in the display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, since the third sound generation module 500-3 is not received or inserted into the third module receiving part 370c provided in the rear cover 1300 and the third module receiving part 370c is opened, a problem may occur due to a variation in sound pressure caused by an overlapping of the gap space between the rear cover 1300 and the display module 100 and the third module receiving part 370c, and a heat dissipation characteristic of the display module 100 overlapping the third module receiving part 370c may be lowered. To solve these problems, the display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a cover 900, as shown in fig. 20.

The cover body 900 may be a covering structure for covering the module receiving part into which the third sound generating module 500-3 is not inserted (or received). The cover 900 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be configured to have substantially the same structure as the module structure 2510 of each of the sound generation modules 500-1, 500-2 and 500-3, and the cover 900 may not include a vibration device unlike the sound generation modules 500-1, 500-2 and 500-3. For example, the cover 900 may include the rim portion 511, the bottom portion 513, and the angled portion 515 of the modular structure 2510 shown in fig. 15. For example, the rear surface of the cover 900 may be disposed on or fixed to the second rear cover 350 exposed by the third module receiving portion 370c by using the first member 910 (or a cover fixing member). In addition, the front surface of the cover 900 may be connected to the rear surface of the display module 100 by using a cover adhesive member 920. Accordingly, the cover 900 may cover the third module receiving part 370c not receiving the third sound generating module 500-3, so that a problem occurring due to the opening of the third module receiving part 370c may be solved. The cover body 900 may be referred to as a hole cover, a cap, or a lid, but the term is not limited thereto.

As another example, the display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may not include all of the first, second, and third sound generation modules 500-1, 500-2, and 500-3 based on a finished structure. For example, as shown in fig. 18 and 21, in a display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first, second, and third sound generating modules 500-1, 500-2, and 500-3 may not be received in the first, second, and third

module receiving portions

370a, 370b, and 370c provided in the rear cover 1300, and the first, second, and third

module receiving portions

370a, 370b, and 370c may be opened, thereby causing a reduction in heat dissipation characteristics in the display module 100 overlapping with the first, second, and third

module receiving portions

370a, 370b, and 370 c. In order to solve such a problem, the display device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a first cover 900-1, a second cover 900-2, and a third cover 900-3 received and disposed in the first module receiving portion 370a, the second module receiving portion 370b, and the third module receiving portion 370c, respectively.

Each of the first, second, and third covers 900-1, 900-2, and 900-3 may be configured in substantially the same structure as the module structure 2510 of the first, second, and third sound generation modules 500-1, 500-2, and 500-3, and each of the first, second, and third covers 900-1, 900-2, and 900-3 may not include a vibration device unlike the first, second, and third sound generation modules 500-1, 500-2, and 500-3. For example, each of the first, second, and third covers 900-1, 900-2, and 900-3 may be disposed on or fixed to the second rear cover 350 exposed by each of the first, second, and third

module receiving parts

370a, 370b, and 370c by using the first member 910 (or a cover fixing member). In addition, a front surface of each of the first cover 900-1, the second cover 900-2 and the third cover 900-3 may be disposed on or coupled to a rear surface of the display module 100 by using a cover adhesive member 920. Accordingly, the first cover 900-1, the second cover 900-2 and the third cover 900-3 may cover the first module receiving part 370a, the second module receiving part 370b and the third module receiving part 370c, which do not receive or insert the first sound generating module 500-1, the second sound generating module 500-2 and the third sound generating module 500-3, respectively, thereby solving problems occurring since each of the first module receiving part 370a, the second module receiving part 370b and the third module receiving part 370c is opened. Accordingly, the rear cover 1300 may include a plurality of

module receiving parts

370a, 370b, and 370c, and the plurality of

module receiving parts

370a, 370b, and 370c are selectively equipped with the first sound generating module 500-1, the second sound generating module 500-2, and the third sound generating module 500-3, and the cover body 900, so that the rear cover 1300 may be common regardless of the finished structure of the display device.

Referring to fig. 22, a display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one sound generation module 500 disposed on a rear surface of the rear cover 300. The at least one sound generation module 500 may be received and disposed in the at least one module receiving part 370 provided in the back cover 300. At least one sound generation module 500 may be attached to the rear cover 300.

The at least one module receiving part 370 provided in the rear cover 300 is the same as the module receiving part shown in fig. 10 and 11, and thus, a repetitive description thereof will be omitted.

The at least one sound generation module 500 may be received and disposed in the at least one module receiving part 370 provided in the back cover 300, and modularized as one element. At least one sound generation module 500 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be received in at least one module receiving part 370 provided in the first rear cover 310 of the rear cover 300, and may be supported by a rear surface of the first rear cover 310. For example, the at least one sound producing module 500 may have a box structure with one side open and including a rim or border. The at least one sound generation module 500 may indirectly vibrate the display module 100 to generate the sound PVS based on the vibration of the display module 100 (e.g., the display panel 110).

Therefore, in the display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, since at least one sound generation module 500 is received and disposed in the module receiving part 370 provided in the rear cover 300, the thickness may be reduced by the height (or depth) of the module receiving part 370, and the weight may be reduced by the size of the module receiving part 370. In the display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, since the sound generating module 500 is disposed on the rear surface of the rear cover 300, the assembly process between the sound generating module 500 and the rear cover 300 may be simplified.

Referring to fig. 23A to 23D, a plate may be used as a vibration plate to generate a sound.

For example, fig. 23A may be a glass plate 601 including a glass material, and the glass plate 601 may be implemented as a sound board (sound board), wherein the sound generation module of fig. 3A to 3E, 5, 6, and 14 to 16B is disposed on a rear surface of the glass plate 601 to output sound. Alternatively, a sound generation module or a sound generation device described below with reference to fig. 24A to 46B may be provided on the rear surface of the glass plate 601. For example, the glass plate 601 may be provided as a picture frame type. The sound generation module may be provided on a rear surface of a picture frame including a photograph or picture, and thus, a user may hear a sound while watching or watching the photograph or picture.

As another example, fig. 23B may be a wood board 602 comprising a wood material, and the wood board 602 may be implemented as a soundboard. For example, the wooden board 602 may be implemented as a soundboard, wherein the sound generation modules of fig. 3A to 3E, 5, 6, and 14 to 16B are disposed on the rear surface of the wooden board 602 to output sound. Alternatively, the sound generation module or sound generation device described below with reference to fig. 24A through 46B may be provided on the rear surface of the wooden board 602.

As another example, fig. 23C may be a plastic plate 603 including a plastic material, and the plastic plate 603 may be implemented as a soundboard. For example, the plastic plate 603 may be implemented as a soundboard, wherein the sound generation module of fig. 3A to 3E, 5, 6, and 14 to 16B is disposed on a rear surface of the plastic plate 603 to output sound. Alternatively, a sound generation module or a sound generation device described below with reference to fig. 24A to 46B may be provided on the rear surface of the plastic plate 603.

As another example, fig. 23D may be a metal plate 604 including a metal material, and the metal plate 604 may be implemented as a soundboard. The metal plate 604 may be a metal injection material. For example, the metal plate 604 may be implemented as a soundboard in which the sound generation modules of fig. 3A to 3E, 5, 6, and 14 to 16B are disposed on the rear surface of the metal plate 604 to output sound. Alternatively, a sound generation module or a sound generation device described below with reference to fig. 24A to 46B may be provided on the rear surface of the metal plate 604.

As another example, the sound generation module of fig. 3A-3E, 5, 6, and 14-16B may be provided in a projection screen or an image reproducing apparatus to output sound, thereby providing stereo sound to a user. As another example, the sound generation module of fig. 3A-3E, 5, 6, and 14-16B may be provided in a device such as a bluetooth device to output sound to provide sound to a user.

As another example, when the sound generation module having multi-channels described below with reference to fig. 24A to 32E is provided in the embodiments of fig. 23A to 23D and in a projection screen, an image reproducing apparatus, or a bluetooth apparatus, it is possible to provide a user with stereo sound and stereo sound (stereo sound) or surround sound (surround sound) having a sense of realism.

As another example, when the film type or piezoelectric composite sound generation module described below with reference to fig. 33 to 44C is provided in the embodiments of fig. 23A to 23D and in a projection screen, an image reproducing apparatus, or a bluetooth device, a vibration device having a thin thickness may be configured and stereo sound or surround sound having a sense of realism may be provided to a user.

Therefore, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, since the soundboard and the modular sound generation module are applied, it is possible to provide an image and a stereo sound, thereby enhancing the immersion experience of the user, and providing a stereophonic sound or a surround sound with a sense of realism.

When the sound generation module described above with reference to fig. 1 to 23D is applied to a display device, the sound generation module may be disposed in at least two regions of three regions. For example, the sound generation module may be disposed in left and right regions of the display device, and the left and right sounds may be output to a front region in front of the display panel. For example, the inventors have recognized that the sound of the display panel in the left-right direction is output, but the sound of the display panel in the up-down direction is not output. A plurality of sound generation modules may be provided to enhance the sound of the display panel in the up-down direction, but when a plurality of sound generation modules are provided, there may occur a problem that the thickness of the display apparatus becomes thick. Further, in order to output stereo sound, an additional speaker may be provided near the display device. Since the speaker should need to control the distance to the user based on the desired frequency, there may be a problem that the speaker should be set based on the user position or the image position. Therefore, the inventors have conducted various experiments to realize a sound generation module in which the thickness of the display device is not thickened, and a left sound, a right sound, a top sound (height sound), and a bottom sound are realized based on an image. Through various experiments, the inventors have invented a display apparatus including a sound generation module having a new structure, which implements a left sound, a right sound, a top sound, and a bottom sound. This will be described below with reference to fig. 24A to 44C.

Referring to fig. 24A and 24B, a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a plate 30, the plate 30 including a first region 1, a second region 2, a third region 3, a fourth region 4, and a fifth region 5. As one example, the panel 30 may be a display panel 110 that displays an image, as described above with reference to fig. 1 to 22. Hereinafter, an example in which the board 30 is the display panel 110 or the rear cover 300 will be described. As another example, the plate 30 may be one of a glass plate 601, a wood plate 602, a plastic plate 603, and a metal plate 604, as described above with reference to fig. 23A to 23D. As another example, the display device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a second plate including the first region 1, the second region 2, the third region 3, the fourth region 4, and the fifth region 5. For example, the board 30 may be a display panel displaying an image, and the sound generating device or the sound generating module may be disposed on a second board including the first region 1, the second region 2, the third region 3, the fourth region 4, and the fifth region 5. For example, the board 30 may display an image, and the second board may be a soundboard that outputs sound.

The rear surface of the display panel 110 may include first to fifth areas 1 to 5. For example, the first region 1 and the fourth region 4 may be left regions of the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, the second and

fifth areas

2 and 5 may be right areas of the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, the third region 3 may be a central region of the rear surface of the display panel 110. As another example, when the sound generation module is disposed on the rear surface of the rear cover 300 as described above with reference to fig. 2, the first to fifth areas 1 to 5 may be areas of the rear surface of the rear cover 300. The description related thereto can be applied to fig. 26A to 32E and fig. 41A to 44C identically or similarly. In the embodiments described below, an example in which the sound generation module is disposed on the rear surface of the display panel will be described, but the embodiments are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the sound generation module may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear cover.

At least one sound generating module may be disposed in at least one of the first, second, third, fourth and

fifth regions

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The at least one sound producing module may comprise the vibration device or sound producing module described above with reference to fig. 1 to 22. The vibration device may be a vibration device including a voice coil.

For example, the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be disposed in the fourth region 4 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The sound generation module W1 integrating the first woofer (speaker-integrated) may be disposed in the first region 1 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be disposed in the fifth area 5 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the second integrated woofer sound generation module W2 may be disposed in the second area 2 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The third sound generation module 1500C may be disposed in the third region 3 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be a top left channel of the display panel 110, and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be a top right channel of the display panel 110. The third sound generation module 1500C may be a center channel of the display panel 110.

The sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may each be a sound generation module configured integrally with the woofer, and thus, a separate woofer may not be provided. The first and second integrated woofer sound producing modules W1 and W2 may each be a sound producing module including a woofer. The sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer will be described below with reference to fig. 25A and 25B.

The sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may output sound of about 60Hz to about 40kHz, and the third sound generation module 1500C, the fourth sound generation module 1500HL, and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may output sound of about 80Hz to about 40 kHz. Accordingly, the display apparatus can output 3.2 channel sound.

Since the sound generation modules are further disposed at upper and lower portions of the display panel, left and right sounds and top and bottom sounds can be enhanced, and a user can feel a sound field feeling like a real sound, compared to the sound generation modules at left and right sides of the display panel. For example, since the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR are further provided, sound may be output from an upper portion of the display panel 110, thereby providing a display apparatus for implementing stereo sound including left and right side sounds and top and bottom sounds. Accordingly, left and right sounds corresponding to the left and right images and top and bottom sounds corresponding to the upper and lower images can be realized, and real stereo including real sounds of stereo left and right sounds and stereo top and bottom sounds can be realized, thereby providing real sounds to the user instead of virtual sounds. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the user with real stereo or surround sound including real sound of stereo left and right sounds and stereo top and bottom sounds, thereby enhancing the sense of realism. Therefore, in theaters, private movie theaters, and devices such as televisions, users can feel real sound and images similar to or the same as reality at the same time, and can feel real Audio Visual (AV) or dolby sound systems, for example.

Further, when the sound generation module having multiple channels shown in fig. 24A and 24B is implemented in the tone board of fig. 23A to 23D, it is possible to provide a user with real stereo or surround sound including stereo left and right side sounds and real sounds of stereo top and bottom sounds, thereby enhancing the sense of realism. When the sound generation module having multiple channels and the projection or image reproduction device shown in fig. 24A and 24B are provided in the soundboard of fig. 23A to 23D, a real AV or dolby sound system can be provided so that the user feels real sound and images similar to or the same as reality at the same time, and further, stereo sound for providing a user immersion experience and sense of reality can be provided. Further, as described above with reference to fig. 1 to 22, a modular sound generating module may be applied, and thus, in the case of providing a sound generating module, the degree of freedom in design of a display apparatus or a rear cover may be improved.

For example, the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be symmetrically disposed, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be disposed on the same line, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed to be symmetrical to the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed on the same line, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed to be symmetrical to the third sound generation module 1500C, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed on the same line as the third sound generation module 1500C, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 24B, the first and second integrated woofer sound generating modules W1 and W2 may be disposed asymmetrically with respect to the third sound generating module 1500C, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed on different lines from the third sound generation module 1500C, but the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be spaced apart from the fourth sound generation module 1500HL disposed in the fourth region 4, and thus, the sound of the lower portion of the display panel 110 may be more vividly realized in the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer, and based on the distance between the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the fourth sound generation module 1500HL, the sound for distinguishing the difference between the sound of the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound of the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be realized. Further, the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be spaced apart from the fifth sound generation module 1500HR disposed in the fifth area 5, and thus, the sound of the lower portion of the display panel 110 may be more vividly realized in the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer, and based on the distance between the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR, the sound for distinguishing the difference between the sound of the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer and the sound of the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be realized.

Referring to fig. 24A and 24B, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed asymmetrically with respect to the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. The sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed asymmetrically with respect to the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. For example, sound constructive or destructive interference caused by vibration and standing waves generated by the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and vibration interference between the vibration and standing waves generated by the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be reduced. In addition to the vibration based on the reproduced sound source, the sound distortion may be caused by the constructive or destructive interference of the undesired sound caused by the external interference, thereby reducing the sound quality, and the asymmetrical structure between the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may prevent the undesired interference, thereby reproducing the natural sound similar to the original sound. It is possible to reduce sound constructive or destructive interference caused by vibration interference between the vibration and standing wave generated by the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer and the vibration and standing wave generated by the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. In addition to the vibration based on the reproduced sound source, the sound distortion may be caused by the constructive or destructive interference of the undesired sound caused by the external interference, thereby reducing the sound quality, and the asymmetrical structure between the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may prevent the undesired interference, thereby reproducing the natural sound similar to the original sound. As another example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed to be symmetrical to the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. The sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed symmetrically with respect to the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

As another example, at least one of the fourth sound producing module 1500HL and the fifth sound producing module 1500HR may be configured as a sound producing module including a woofer. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed in the fourth region 4, and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed in the fifth region 5. For example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in one or more of the fourth region 4 and the fifth region 5. As another example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in the third region 3. As another example, the third sound production module 1500C may be configured as a sound production module including a woofer. Accordingly, a sound generation module including a woofer may be disposed in one or more of the first to fifth regions 1 to 5, and may output a sound of a bass band, thereby providing a display apparatus for outputting sounds of a bass band, a midrange band, and a treble band. For example, the sound generation module may be driven based on the same signal or a mono signal (mono signal) applied thereto.

The sound generation module 1800 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may be a sound generation module integrated with a woofer, a hybrid sound generation module, and a sound generation module having a woofer, but the term is not limited thereto. Fig. 25A is a front view of the sound generation module, and fig. 25B is a sectional view of the sound generation module.

Referring to fig. 25A and 25B, the sound generation module 1800 may include a first sound generation apparatus 1801 and a second sound generation apparatus 1802. For example, the first sound generation device 1801 may be disposed on the rear surface of the display panel, and the second sound generation device 1802 may be spaced apart from the rear surface of the display panel.

The sound producing module 1800 may include a frame for housing a first sound producing device 1801 and a second sound producing device 1802. The frame may include a lower frame 1610a supporting a lower portion of each of the first and second

sound generating devices

1801 and 1802, and a side frame 1610b connected to the lower frame 1610 a. The frame may be a yoke, but the term is not limited thereto.

The lower frame 1610a may support a magnet 1620. The magnet 1620 may share the first sound producing device 1801 and the second sound producing device 1802. For example, the bobbin 1650a of the first sound-producing device 1801 and the coil 1660a near the bobbin 1650a may be disposed near the magnet 1620. For example, the second bobbin 1650b of the second sound generating apparatus 1802 and the second coil 1660b near the second bobbin 1650b may be provided near the magnet 1620. For example, the lower frame 1610a and the plate 1611 may be disposed below and above the magnet 1620, respectively, and may increase the magnetic flux density generated by the magnet 1620, the coil 1660a, and the second coil 1660b, thereby enhancing the vibration characteristics. The lower frame 1610a may be a yoke, but the term is not limited thereto.

The side frame 1610b may be connected to the lower frame 1610a and may include at least one hole 217 to output sound. For example, the holes 217 may be vent holes. For example, the hole 217 may output the sound of the bass band generated by the vibration plate 214b of the second sound generation apparatus 1802 in the air gap in the sound generation module 1800 to the rear area behind the display panel 110.

The side frame 1610b may include a conductive material, and may control magnetic flux generated by the magnet 1620. For example, the side frame 1610b may surround the magnet 1620 separately from the magnet 1620, and thus, may allow the magnetic flux generated by the magnet 1620 to be concentrated inside the second bobbin 1650b, thereby preventing the magnetic flux from leaking. The side frame 1610b may be a yoke, but the term is not limited thereto. The hole 217 may be provided in the side frame 1610b, and furthermore, may be provided in the lower frame 1610a, and may be provided in a region connected to the side frame 1610b and the lower frame 1610 a. The side frame 1610b may be connected to the rear cover using a connecting member 1710 such as a nut, or may be provided in the display panel 110.

The first sound producing device 1801 may include a magnet 1620 disposed on a frame, a bobbin 1650a proximate to the magnet 1620, and a coil 1660a and damper 1670a proximate to the bobbin 1650 a. For example, their descriptions are similar to those given above with reference to fig. 3A to 3E, fig. 6, and fig. 14, and thus detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

The magnet 1620 may be disposed on the lower frame 1610 a. For example, magnets 1620 may be disposed between plate 1611 and lower frame 1610 a. Lower frame 1610a and plate 1611 may control the magnetic flux generated by magnets 1620. For example, the magnet 1620 may be surrounded by the lower frame 1610a and the plate 1611, and thus, the magnetic flux generated by the magnet 1620 may be concentrated inside the bobbin 1650a and may be controlled.

The spool 1650a may be attached to a rear surface of the spool ring 1652 a. For example, when a sound generating current is applied to the coil 1660a wound on the outer circumferential surface of the bobbin 1650a to generate a magnetic field in the first sound generating apparatus 1801, the display panel may be vibrated based on the magnetic field by using the bobbin ring 1652 a. The bobbin ring 1652a may be disposed between the bobbin 1650a and the display panel, and may transmit vibration of the bobbin 1650a to the display panel. The first sound generating apparatus 1801 may output sounds of a midbass band.

The second sound generating device 1802 may include a magnet 1620 disposed on the frame, a plate 1611 positioned on the magnet 1620, a second bobbin 1650b positioned near the magnet 1620, and a second coil 1660b and a second damper 1670b positioned near the second bobbin 1650 b.

The vibration plate 214b may be disposed on the second bobbin 1650 b. For example, the vibration plate 214b may be spaced apart from the rear surface of the display panel 110, and may prevent heat generated in the second bobbin 1650b from being transferred to the display panel.

When a sound-generating current is applied to the second coil 1660b wound on the outer circumferential surface of the second bobbin 1650b to generate a magnetic field in the second sound-generating device 1802, the second bobbin 1650b may vibrate an air layer or an air gap of the peripheral portion of the vibration plate by using the vibration plate 214b based on the magnetic field. For example, the front surface of the second bobbin 1650b may contact the vibration plate 214b, and may vibrate the vibration plate 214b based on a state of whether current is applied thereto. The second sound generation device 1802 can output sound to the front area and the rear area with respect to the vibration plate 214 b. For example, the second sound generation apparatus 1802 may output the sound of the bass band. For example, the sound generated by the diaphragm 214b of the second sound generation device 1802 may include a first low-pitch sound propagated to an upper portion of the diaphragm 214b and a second low-pitch sound propagated to a lower portion of the diaphragm 214 b. For example, the second sound generation apparatus 1802 may be a woofer, but the term is not limited thereto.

The magnet 1620 may be disposed on the lower frame 1610 a. The plate 1611 may be spaced apart from the vibration plate 214 b. The second bobbin 1650b may be disposed on the rear surface of the vibration plate 214 b. For example, second spool 1650b may surround magnet 1620 and plate 1611.

A second damper 1670b may be provided between the first sound-producing device 1801 and the second sound-producing device 1802. For example, the second damper 1670b may be disposed between the damper 1670a of the first sound-producing device 1801 and the second bobbin 1650b of the second sound-producing device 1802. For example, the second damper 1670b may be provided between the vibration plate 214b of the second sound generation apparatus 1802 and the first sound generation apparatus 1801. The vibration plate 214b may not be in physical contact with the first sound generating apparatus 1801. For example, the second damper 1670b may prevent sound interference between the first sound-generating apparatus 1801 and the second sound-generating apparatus 1802. The edge 1670c may be provided on the vibration plate 214 b. When the vibration plate 214b performs a vertical motion, the edge 1670c may prevent deformation (e.g., twisting of the vibration plate 214 b), and thus may provide clear sound quality and may enhance the reliability of the sound generation module 1800. Second damper 1670b may be a first suspension and edge 1670c may be a second suspension.

The magnet 1620 of the first sound-producing device 1801 and the second magnet 1620 of the second sound-producing device 1802 may have opposite magnetic fields. The first sound generation device 1801 may directly vibrate the display panel to output the sound of the high band to a front area in front of the display panel, and the second sound generation device 1802 may output the sound of the low band to a rear area behind the display panel. Therefore, since the first sound-producing device 1801 and the second sound-producing device 1802 have opposite magnetic fields, the vibration of each of the first sound-producing device 1801 and the second sound-producing device 1802 can be independently driven or controlled.

Thus, a woofer-integrated sound producing module may include a woofer disposed proximate the sound producing module. The sound generation module may be disposed on a rear surface of the display panel and may generate sounds of a midrange band, and the woofer may be spaced apart from the rear surface of the display panel and may perform vertical vibration to generate sounds of a bass band. For example, the sound generation module and the woofer may be driven based on different sound signals or voice signals applied thereto. Thus, the sound production module of the integrated woofer may enhance the sound of the bass band.

Referring to fig. 26A and 26B, at least one sound generation module may be disposed in at least one of the first, second, third, fourth and

fifth regions

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. For example, the first sound generation module 1500L may be disposed in the first region 1 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be disposed in the fourth region 4 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed in the second region 2 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be disposed in the fifth region 5 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The third sound generation module 1500C may be disposed in the third region 3 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. As another example, as described above with reference to fig. 22, the first to fifth sound generation modules may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear cover 300. For example, the first to fifth sound generation modules may be provided in a module structure.

The first sound generation module 1500L may be a left channel of the display panel 110, and the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be a top left channel of the display panel 110. The second sound generation module 1500R may be a right channel of the display panel 110, and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be a top right channel of the display panel 110. The third sound generation module 1500C may be a center channel of the display panel 110.

Referring to fig. 26A and 26B, the first sound generation module 1500L may be disposed to be symmetrical to the fourth sound generation module 1500HL, but is not limited thereto. For example, the first sound generation module 1500L may be disposed on the same line as the fourth sound generation module 1500HL, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such that sound is reproduced at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound. For example, the second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed to be symmetrical to the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. For example, the second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed on the same line as the fifth sound generation module 1500HR, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound. For example, the first and fourth sound generation modules 1500L and 1500HL may be disposed to be symmetrical to the second and fifth sound generation modules 1500R and 1500HR, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the first and fourth sound generation modules 1500L and 1500HL may be disposed on the same line as the second and fifth sound generation modules 1500R and 1500HR, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 26A, the first sound generation module 1500L and the second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed on the same line as the third sound generation module 1500C, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and thus, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the sense of recognition of the sound position, thereby enhancing localization of the sound.

Referring to fig. 26B, the first sound generation module 1500L and the second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed to be asymmetric to the third sound generation module 1500C, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the first and second

sound generation modules

1500L and 1500R may be disposed on different lines from the third sound generation module 1500C, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the first sound generation module 1500L and the second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed on the same line. For example, the third sound generation module 1500C may be disposed on a different line from the first sound generation module 1500L. For example, the third sound generation module 1500C may be disposed on a different line than the second sound generation module 1500R. For example, the first sound generation module 1500L may be separated from the fourth sound generation module 1500HL disposed in the fourth region 4, and thus, the sound of the lower portion of the display panel 110 may be more vividly realized in the first sound generation module 1500L, and based on the distance between the first sound generation module 1500L and the fourth sound generation module 1500HL, the sound for distinguishing the difference between the sound of the first sound generation module 1500L and the sound of the fourth sound generation module 150HL may be realized. Further, the second sound generation module 1500R may be separated from the fifth sound generation module 1500HR disposed in the fifth region 5, and thus, the sound of the lower portion of the display panel 110 may be more vividly realized in the second sound generation module 1500R, and based on the distance between the second sound generation module 1500R and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR, the sound for distinguishing the difference between the sound of the second sound generation module 1500R and the sound of the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be realized.

The fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be disposed in the fourth region 4, the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be disposed in the fifth region 5, and no sound generation module may be disposed in the sixth region 6 between the fourth region 4 and the fifth region 5. Accordingly, the vibration of each of the fourth and fifth sound generation modules 1500HL and 1500HR may be attenuated or absorbed in the sixth region 6 of the display panel 110, so that the transmission of the sound of the fourth region 4 to the fifth region 5 may be prevented or reduced, and the transmission of the sound of the fifth region 5 to the fourth region 4 may be prevented or reduced. Accordingly, degradation of sound quality caused by sound interference occurring in the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR can be reduced, and sound characteristics of the midbass band can be further enhanced.

Accordingly, the first and fourth sound generation modules 1500L and 1500HL may be disposed in the first and

fourth regions

1 and 4, which are left regions of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and may vibrate the left region of the display panel 110. The second and fifth sound generation modules 1500R and 1500HR may be disposed in the second and

fifth areas

2 and 5, which are right areas of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and may vibrate the right area of the display panel 110. The third sound generating module 1500C may be disposed in the third region 3, which is a central region of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and may vibrate the central region of the display panel 110. The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth

sound generation modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500C, 1500HL, and 1500HR may receive different vibration signals, and may be independently driven. For example, the first sound generation module 1500L and the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may generate sound by using a left area of the rear surface of the display panel 110 as a diaphragm, and the second sound generation module 1500R and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may generate sound by using a right area of the rear surface of the display panel 110 as a diaphragm. In addition, the third sound generation module 1500C may generate a sound by using the central area of the display panel 110 as a vibration plate.

In the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, a woofer may be provided to further enhance the sound of the bass band. For example, one or more woofers may be further disposed below at least one of the first sound producing module 1500L and the second sound producing module 1500R. For example, one or more woofers may also be provided below at least one of the first region 1 and the second region 2. For example, the first woofer W3 may be disposed below the first region 1 of the display panel 110. For example, the first woofer W3 may be disposed below the first sound producing module 1500L. For example, the second woofer W4 may be disposed below the second area 2 of the display panel 110. For example, the second woofer W4 may be disposed below the second sound generating module 1500R. Accordingly, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may output the sound of the bass band. The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth

sound generation modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500C, 1500HL, and 1500HR may output sounds of about 80Hz to about 40kHz, and the first and second woofers W3 and W4 may output sounds of 80Hz or less. Accordingly, the display apparatus can output 5.1 channel sound.

Since the sound generation modules are further disposed at upper and lower portions of the display panel with respect to a width direction of the display panel, left and right sounds and top and bottom sounds can be enhanced, and a user can feel a sound field feeling like a real sound, compared to sound generation modules disposed at left and right sides of the display panel. For example, since the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR are further provided, sound can be output from the upper portion of the display panel 110, thereby providing a display apparatus for implementing stereo sound including left and right side sound and top and bottom sound. Accordingly, left and right sounds corresponding to the left and right images and top and bottom sounds corresponding to the upper and lower images can be realized, and real stereo including real sounds of stereo left and right sounds and stereo top and bottom sounds can be realized, thereby providing real sounds to the user instead of virtual sounds. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the user with real stereo or surround sound including the stereo left and right sounds and the stereo top and bottom sounds, thereby enhancing the sense of realism. Therefore, in theaters, private movie theaters, and devices such as televisions, users can feel real sound and images similar to or the same as reality at the same time, and can feel real AV (audio visual) or dolby sound systems, for example.

Further, when the sound generation module having multiple channels shown in fig. 24A and 24B is implemented in the tone board of fig. 23A to 23D, it is possible to provide a user with real stereo or surround sound including stereo left and right side sounds and real sounds of stereo top and bottom sounds, thereby enhancing the sense of realism. When the sound generation module having multiple channels and the projection or image reproduction apparatus shown in fig. 24A and 24B are provided in the soundboard of fig. 23A to 23D, a real AV or dolby sound system can be provided so that the user feels real sound and images similar to or the same as reality at the same time, and in addition, stereo sound for providing a user immersion experience and sense of reality can be provided. Further, as described above with reference to fig. 1 to 22, a modular sound generating module may be applied, and thus, in the case of providing a sound generating module, the degree of freedom in design of a display apparatus or a rear cover may be improved.

Fig. 27 illustrates a display device including a sound generation module according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 27, the display panel 110 may include first to eleventh regions 1 to 11. For example, the first, fourth, and

seventh regions

1, 4, and 7 may be left side regions of the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, the second, fifth and

eighth regions

2, 5 and 8 may be right regions of the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, the third, sixth, and

ninth regions

3, 6, and 9 may be central regions of the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, the sixth region 6 may be a region between the fourth region 4 and the fifth region 5. For example, the ninth region 9 may be a region between the seventh region 7 and the eighth region 8. For example, the tenth region 10 may be a region between the first region 1 and the third region 3. For example, the eleventh region 11 may be a region between the second region 2 and the third region 3. For example, the seventh area 7 may be located below the first area 1, and the eighth area 8 may be located below the second area 2. For example, the tenth region 10 may be a region between the first, fourth, and

seventh regions

1, 4, and 7 and the third, sixth, and

ninth regions

3, 6, and 9. For example, the eleventh region 11 may be a region between the second region 2, the fifth region 5, and the eighth region 8 and the third region 3, the sixth region 6, and the ninth region 9. Reference numerals 1 to 11 indicating regions among the first to eleventh regions may be arbitrarily displayed, and the classification of the reference numerals 1 to 11 and the first to eleventh regions does not limit the description of the present disclosure. The description related thereto can be applied to fig. 28 to 44C identically or similarly.

At least one sound generation module may be disposed in at least one of the first through eleventh regions 1 through 11. For example, the first sound generation module 1500L may be disposed in the first region 1 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be disposed in the fourth region 4 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the seventh sound generation module 1500BL may be disposed in the seventh region 7 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed in the second region 2 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be disposed in the fifth region 5 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the eighth sound generation module 1500BR may be disposed in the eighth region 8 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The third sound generation module 1500C may be disposed in the third region 3 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, the sixth sound generation module 1500HC may be disposed in the sixth region 6 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the ninth sound generation module 1500BC may be disposed in the ninth region 9 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The tenth sound generating module 1500LC may be disposed in the tenth area 10 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the eleventh sound generating module 1500RC may be disposed in the eleventh area 11 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. As another example, as described above with reference to fig. 22, the first to eleventh sound generation modules may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear cover. For example, the first to eleventh sound generation modules may be provided in a module structure.

The first sound generation module 1500L may be a left channel of the display panel 110, the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be a top left channel of the display panel 110, and the seventh sound generation module 1500BL may be a bottom left channel of the display panel 110. The tenth sound generating module 1500LC may be a left center channel of the display panel 110. The second sound generation module 1500R may be a right channel of the display panel 110, the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be a top right channel of the display panel 110, and the eighth sound generation module 1500BR may be a bottom right channel of the display panel 110. The eleventh sound generating module 1500RC may be a right center channel of the display panel 110. The third sound generation module 1500C may be a center channel of the display panel 110, the sixth sound generation module 1500HC may be a top center channel of the display panel 110, and the ninth sound generation module 1500BC may be a bottom center channel of the display panel 110.

For example, the first sound generation module 1500L may be disposed to be symmetrical to the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and/or the seventh sound generation module 1500BL, but is not limited thereto. For example, the first sound generation module 1500L may be disposed on the same line as the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and/or the seventh sound generation module 1500BL, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

For example, the second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed to be symmetrical to the fifth sound generation module 1500HR and/or the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, but is not limited thereto. For example, the second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed on the same line as the fifth sound generation module 1500HR and/or the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

For example, the third sound generation module 1500C may be disposed to be symmetrical to the sixth sound generation module 1500HC and/or the ninth sound generation module 1500BC, but is not limited thereto. For example, the third sound generation module 1500C may be disposed on the same line as the sixth sound generation module 1500HC and/or the ninth sound generation module 1500BC, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

For example, the tenth sound generation module 1500LC and the eleventh sound generation module 1500RC may be disposed to be symmetrical to at least one of the first sound generation module 1500L, the second sound generation module 1500R, and the third sound generation module 1500C, but are not limited thereto. For example, the tenth sound generation module 1500LC and the eleventh sound generation module 1500RC may be disposed on the same line with at least one of the first sound generation module 1500L, the second sound generation module 1500R, and the third sound generation module 1500C, but are not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

For example, one of the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be disposed to be symmetrical to the sixth sound generation module 1500HC, but is not limited thereto. For example, one of the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be disposed on the same line as the sixth sound generation module 1500HC, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound. For example, one of the first, second, tenth and eleventh sound-generating

modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500LC and 1500RC may be disposed to be symmetrical to the third sound-generating module 1500C, but is not limited thereto. For example, one of the first, second, tenth and eleventh sound-generating

modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500LC and 1500RC may be disposed on the same line as the third sound-generating module 1500C, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound. For example, one of the seventh sound generation module 1500BL and the eighth sound generation module 1500BR may be disposed to be symmetrical to the ninth sound generation module 1500BC, but is not limited thereto. For example, one of the seventh sound generation module 1500BL and the eighth sound generation module 1500BR may be disposed on the same line as the ninth sound generation module 1500BC, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

Accordingly, the first, fourth, and seventh sound generation modules 1500L, 1500HL, and 1500BL may be disposed in the first, fourth, and

seventh regions

1, 4, and 7, which are the left region of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and may vibrate the left region of the display panel 110. The second, fifth, and eighth sound generation modules 1500R, 1500HR, and 1500BR may be disposed in the second, fifth, and

eighth regions

2, 5, and 8, which are right regions of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and may vibrate the right region of the display panel 110. The third, sixth, and ninth sound generation modules 1500C, 1500HC, and 1500BC may be disposed in the third, sixth, and

ninth regions

3, 6, and 9, which are the central region of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and may vibrate the central region of the display panel 110. The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh

sound generation modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500C, 1500HL, 1500HR, 1500HC, 1500BL, 1500BR, 1500BC, 1500LC and 1500RC may receive different vibration signals and may be independently driven. For example, the first, fourth, and seventh sound generation modules 1500L, 1500HL, and 1500BL may generate sounds by using the left area of the rear surface of the display panel 110 as a vibration plate. The second, fifth, and eighth sound generation modules 1500R, 1500HR, and 1500BR may generate sounds by using the right side area of the rear surface of the display panel 110 as a vibration plate. The third, sixth, and ninth sound generation modules 1500C, 1500HC, and 1500BC may generate sounds by using the central area of the rear surface of the display panel 110 as a diaphragm. The tenth and eleventh sound generation modules 1500LC and 1500RC may generate sound by using the left, center, and right areas of the rear surface of the display panel 110 as a vibration plate. For example, the sixth sound generation module 1500HC may generate sound toward the upper portion of the display panel 110. For example, the fourth, fifth, and sixth sound generation modules 1500HL, 1500HR, and 1500HC may generate sound toward the upper portion of the display panel 110, thereby enhancing the sound of the upper portion of the display panel 110. For example, the seventh sound generation module 1500BL, the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, and the ninth sound generation module 1500BC may generate sound toward the lower portion of the display panel 110, thereby enhancing the sound of the lower portion of the display panel 110.

Additionally, woofers may be provided to further enhance the sound of the bass bands. For example, one or more woofers may also be provided below at least one of the seventh and

eighth regions

7, 8. For example, one or more woofers may also be provided below at least one of the seventh sound producing module 1500BL and the eighth sound producing module 1500 BR. For example, the first woofer W3 may be disposed below the seventh area 7 of the display panel 110. For example, the first woofer W3 may be disposed below the seventh sound producing module 1500 BL. For example, the second woofer W4 may be disposed below the eighth region 8 of the display panel 110. For example, the second woofer W4 may be disposed below the eighth sound producing module 1500 BR. Accordingly, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may output the sound of the bass band.

As another example, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may not be provided, and at least one of the seventh sound producing module 1500BL and the eighth sound producing module 1500BR may be configured as a sound producing module having woofers. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed in the seventh region 7, and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed in the eighth region 8. For example, a sound generation module having a woofer may be provided in one or more of the seventh region 7 and the eighth region 8. The description of the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer is the same as that given above with reference to fig. 24A to 25B, and thus their description is omitted.

When the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer is disposed in the seventh region 7, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed to be symmetrical with one of the first sound generation module 1500L and the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed on the same line as one of the first sound generation module 1500L and the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. When the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer is provided in the eighth region 8, the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be provided symmetrically with one of the second sound generation module 1500R and the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. For example, the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be provided on the same line as one of the second sound generation module 1500R and the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

As another example, when the first integrated woofer sound producing module W1 is provided in the seventh region 7, the first integrated woofer sound producing module W1 may be provided asymmetrically with one of the first sound producing module 1500L and the fourth sound producing module 1500 HL. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed on a different line from one of the first sound generation module 1500L and the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. When the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer is disposed in the eighth region 8, the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed asymmetrically with respect to one of the second sound generation module 1500R and the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. For example, the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed on a different line from one of the second sound generation module 1500R and the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed on different lines from the third sound generation module 1500C. For example, sound constructive or destructive interference caused by vibration interference between the vibration and standing wave generated by the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the vibration and standing wave generated by the fourth sound generation module 1500HL or the seventh sound generation module 1500BL can be reduced. In addition to the vibration based on the reproduced sound source, the sound distortion may be caused by the constructive or destructive interference of the undesired sound caused by the external interference, thereby reducing the sound quality, and the asymmetrical structure between the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and one of the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the seventh sound generation module 1500BL may prevent the undesired interference, thereby reproducing the natural sound similar to the original sound. It is possible to reduce sound constructive or destructive interference caused by vibration interference between the vibration and standing wave generated by the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer and the vibration and standing wave generated by the fifth sound generation module 1500HR or the eighth sound generation module 1500 BR. In addition to the vibration based on the reproduced sound source, the sound distortion may be caused by the constructive or destructive interference of the undesired sound caused by the external interference, thereby reducing the sound quality, and the asymmetrical structure between the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer and one of the fifth sound generation module 1500HR and the eighth sound generation module 1500BR may prevent the undesired interference, thereby reproducing the natural sound similar to the original sound.

As another example, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may not be provided, and at least one of the first sound producing module 1500L and the second sound producing module 1500R may be configured as a sound producing module including a woofer or a sound producing module having a woofer. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed in the first region 1, and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed in the second region 2. For example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in one or more of the first region 1 and the second region 2. The description of the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer is the same as that given above with reference to fig. 24A to 25B, and thus their description is omitted. The description related thereto is the same as that of the example in which the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer are provided in the seventh region 7 and the eighth region 8, and thus is omitted.

As another example, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may not be provided, and at least one of the tenth sound producing module 1500LC and the eleventh sound producing module 1500RC may be configured as a sound producing module including a woofer. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed in the tenth region 10, and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed in the eleventh region 11. For example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in one or more of the tenth region 10 and the eleventh region 11.

As another example, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may not be provided, and at least one of the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be configured as a sound generation module including woofers. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed in the fourth region 4, and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed in the fifth region 5. For example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in one or more of the fourth region 4 and the fifth region 5.

As another example, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may not be provided, and at least one of the sixth sound producing module 1500HC and the ninth sound producing module 1500BC may be configured as a sound producing module including a woofer. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed in the sixth region 6, and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed in the ninth region 9. For example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in one or more of the sixth region 6 and the ninth region 9. As another example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in the third region 3. For example, the third sound generation module 1500C may be configured as a sound generation module including a woofer.

Accordingly, a woofer may not be separately provided, and a sound generating module integrating the woofer may be provided in one or more of the first to eleventh regions 1 to 11 and may output a sound of a bass band, thereby providing a display apparatus for outputting sounds of a bass band, a midrange band, and a treble band. For example, the sound generation module may be driven based on the same signal or a mono signal applied thereto.

The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh

sound generation modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500C, 1500HL, 1500HR, 1500HC, 1500BL, 1500BR, 1500BC, 1500LC and 1500RC may output sounds of about 80Hz to about 40 kHz. The first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may output sounds of 80Hz or lower. Accordingly, the display apparatus can output 11.1 channel sound.

The display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may implement left and right sounds corresponding to left and right images and top and bottom sounds corresponding to upper and lower images, and may implement real stereo including real sounds of stereo left and right sounds and stereo top and bottom sounds, thereby providing real sounds to a user instead of virtual sounds. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the user with real stereo or surround sound including real sound of stereo left and right sounds and stereo top and bottom sounds, thereby enhancing the sense of realism. Therefore, in theaters, private theaters, and devices such as televisions, a user can feel real sound and images similar to or the same as reality at the same time, and can feel a real AV or dolby sound system, for example.

Further, when the sound generation module having multiple channels shown in fig. 24A and 24B is implemented in the tone board of fig. 23A to 23D, it is possible to provide a user with real sound or real stereo or surround sound including stereo left and right side sounds and stereo top and bottom sounds, thereby enhancing the sense of realism. When the sound generation module having multiple channels and the projection or image reproduction device shown in fig. 24A and 24B are provided in the soundboard of fig. 23A to 23D, a real AV or dolby sound system can be provided so that the user feels real sound and images similar to or the same as reality at the same time, and further, stereo sound for providing a user immersion experience and sense of reality can be provided. Further, as described above with reference to fig. 1 to 22, a modular sound generating module may be applied, and thus, in the case of providing a sound generating module, the degree of freedom in design of a display apparatus or a rear cover may be improved.

Referring to fig. 28, the display panel 110 may include first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15. The first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15 may have the same area, but are not limited thereto. For example, the first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15 may be arranged at equal intervals, but are not limited thereto. For example, the first, fourth, and

seventh regions

eighth regions

ninth regions

3, 6, and 9 may be central regions of the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, the twelfth area 12 may be an area between the fourth area 4 and the sixth area 6. For example, the fourteenth area 14 may be an area between the seventh area 7 and the ninth area 9. For example, the fifteenth area 15 may be an area between the eighth area 8 and the ninth area 9. For example, the tenth, twelfth and

fourteenth regions

ninth regions

3, 6 and 9. For example, the eleventh, thirteenth and

fifteenth regions

11, 13 and 15 may be regions between the second, fifth and

eighth regions

2, 5 and 8 and the third, sixth and

ninth regions

3, 6 and 9. Reference numerals 1 to 15 indicating regions among the first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15 may be arbitrarily displayed, and the classification of the reference numerals 1 to 15 and the first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15 does not limit the description of the present disclosure. The description related thereto can be applied to fig. 29 to 44C identically or similarly.

At least one sound generation module may be disposed in at least one of the first to fifteenth areas 1 to 15. For example, the first sound generation module 1500L may be disposed in the first region 1 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be disposed in the fourth region 4 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the seventh sound generation module 1500BL may be disposed in the seventh region 7 of the rear surface of the display panel 110.

For example, the first sound generating module 1500L may be disposed on the same line as the fourth sound generating module 1500HL and/or the seventh sound generating module 1500BL, but is not limited thereto. For example, the second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed to be symmetrical to the fifth sound generation module 1500HR and/or the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, but is not limited thereto. For example, the second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed on the same line as the fifth sound generation module 1500HR and/or the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, but is not limited thereto. For example, the third sound generation module 1500C may be disposed to be symmetrical to the sixth sound generation module 1500HC and/or the ninth sound generation module 1500BC, but is not limited thereto. For example, the third sound generation module 1500C may be disposed on the same line as the sixth sound generation module 1500HC and/or the ninth sound generation module 1500BC, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

For example, the tenth sound generating module 1500LC may be disposed to be symmetrical to the twelfth sound generating module 1500HLC and/or the fourteenth sound generating module 1500BLC, but is not limited thereto. For example, the tenth sound generating module 1500LC may be disposed on the same line as the twelfth sound generating module 1500HLC and/or the fourteenth sound generating module 1500BLC, but is not limited thereto. For example, the eleventh sound generation module 1500RC may be disposed to be symmetrical to the thirteenth sound generation module 1500HRC and/or the fifteenth sound generation module 1500BRC, but is not limited thereto. For example, the eleventh sound generation module 1500RC may be disposed on the same line as the thirteenth sound generation module 1500HRC and/or the fifteenth sound generation module 1500BRC, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

For example, one of the fourth sound generation module 1500HL, the fifth sound generation module 1500HR, and the sixth sound generation module 1500HC may be disposed to be symmetrical to one of the twelfth sound generation module 1500HLC and the thirteenth sound generation module 1500HRC, but is not limited thereto. For example, one of the fourth sound generation module 1500HL, the fifth sound generation module 1500HR, and the sixth sound generation module 1500HC may be disposed on the same line as one of the twelfth sound generation module 1500HLC and the thirteenth sound generation module 1500HRC, but is not limited thereto. For example, one of the first, second, and third

sound generation modules

1500L, 1500R, and 1500C may be disposed to be symmetrical to one of the tenth and eleventh sound generation modules 1500LC and 1500RC, but is not limited thereto. For example, one of the first, second, and third

sound generation modules

1500L, 1500R, and 1500C may be disposed on the same line as one of the tenth and eleventh sound generation modules 1500LC and 1500RC, but is not limited thereto. For example, one of the seventh sound generation module 1500BL, the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, and the ninth sound generation module 1500BC may be disposed to be symmetrical to one of the fourteenth sound generation module 1500BLC and the fifteenth sound generation module 1500BRC, but is not limited thereto.

For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

Additionally, woofers may be provided to further enhance the sound of the bass bands. For example, the woofer may be further provided below at least one of the first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15. For example, the woofer may be further disposed below at least one of the first to fifteenth sound producing modules 1500L to 1500 BRC. For example, the first woofer W3 may be disposed below the seventh area 7 of the display panel 110. For example, the first woofer W3 may be disposed below the seventh sound generating module 1500 BL. For example, the first woofer W3 may be disposed between the seventh region 7 and the fourteenth region 14. For example, the second woofer W4 may be disposed below the eighth region 8 of the display panel 110. For example, the second woofer W4 may be disposed below the eighth sound producing module 1500 BR. For example, the second woofer W4 may be provided between the eighth region 8 and the fifteenth region 15. Accordingly, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may output the sound of the bass band.

As another example, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may not be provided, and at least one of the seventh sound producing module 1500BL and the eighth sound producing module 1500BR may be configured as a sound producing module including a woofer. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed in the seventh region 7, and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed in the eighth region 8. For example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in one or more of the seventh region 7 and the eighth region 8. The description of the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer is the same as that given above with reference to fig. 24A to 25B, and thus their description is omitted.

When the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer is disposed in the seventh region 7, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed to be symmetrical with one of the first sound generation module 1500L and the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed on the same line as one of the first sound generation module 1500L and the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. When the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer is disposed in the eighth region 8, the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed to be symmetrical with one of the second sound generation module 1500R and the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. For example, the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be provided on the same line as one of the second sound generation module 1500R and the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. For example, the sound reproduction positions may be aligned on the same line, and therefore, compared to an asymmetric structure, an effect such as reproducing sound at the same position may be achieved. Therefore, the sense of recognition of the sound position can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the localization of the sound.

As another example, when the first integrated woofer sound producing module W1 is provided in the seventh region 7, the first integrated woofer sound producing module W1 may be provided asymmetrically with one of the first sound producing module 1500L and the fourth sound producing module 1500 HL. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed on a different line from one of the first sound generation module 1500L and the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. When the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer is disposed in the eighth region 8, the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed asymmetrically with respect to one of the second sound generation module 1500R and the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR.

For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed on different lines from the third sound generation module 1500C. For example, sound constructive or destructive interference caused by vibration interference between the vibration and standing wave generated by the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the vibration and standing wave generated by the fourth sound generation module 1500HL or the seventh sound generation module 1500BL can be reduced. In addition to the vibration based on the reproduced sound source, the sound distortion may be caused by the constructive or destructive interference of the undesired sound caused by the external interference, thereby reducing the sound quality, and the asymmetrical structure between the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and one of the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the seventh sound generation module 1500BL may prevent the undesired interference, thereby reproducing the natural sound similar to the original sound. It is possible to reduce sound constructive or destructive interference caused by vibration interference between the vibration and standing wave generated by the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer and the vibration and standing wave generated by the fifth sound generation module 1500HR or the eighth sound generation module 1500 BR. In addition to the vibration based on the reproduced sound source, the sound distortion may be caused by the constructive or destructive interference of the undesired sound caused by the external interference, thereby reducing the sound quality, and the asymmetrical structure between the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer and one of the fifth sound generation module 1500HR and the eighth sound generation module 1500BR may prevent the undesired interference, thereby reproducing the natural sound similar to the original sound.

For example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in one or more of the first region 1 and the second region 2. The description of the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer is the same as that given above with reference to fig. 24A to 25B, and thus their description is omitted. The description related thereto is the same as that of the example in which the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer are provided in the first region 1 and the second region 2, and thus is omitted.

As another example, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may not be provided, and at least one of the tenth sound producing module 1500LC and the eleventh sound producing module 1500RC may be configured as a sound producing module including a woofer.

The description of the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer is the same as that given above with reference to fig. 24A to 25B, and thus their description is omitted. The description related thereto is the same as that of the example in which the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer are provided in the fourteenth area 14 and the fifteenth area 15, and thus is omitted.

As another example, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may not be provided, and at least one of the twelfth sound producing module 1500HLC and the thirteenth sound producing module 1500HRC may be configured as a sound producing module including a woofer. For example, the sound production module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be provided in the twelfth region 12, and the sound production module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be provided in the thirteenth region 13. For example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in one or more of the twelfth region 12 and the thirteenth region 13.

Accordingly, a woofer may not be separately provided, and a sound generating module integrated with the woofer may be provided in one or more of the first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15 and may output a sound of a bass band, thereby providing a display apparatus for outputting sounds of a bass band, a midrange band, and a treble band. For example, the sound generation module may be driven based on the same signal or a mono signal applied thereto.

The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth

sound generation modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500C, 1500BL, 1500BR, 1500BC, 1500LC, 1500RC, 1500HLC, 1500HRC, 1500BLC, 1500BRC may output sounds of about 80Hz to about 40 kHz. The first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may output sounds of 80Hz or less. Accordingly, the display apparatus can output 15.1 channel sound.

Referring to fig. 29A to 29E, the display panel 110 may include first to sixth regions 1 to 6. The first to sixth regions 1 to 6 may have the same area, but are not limited thereto. For example, the first to sixth regions 1 to 6 may be arranged at equal intervals or distances. For example, all the channels of the sound generation modules disposed in the first to sixth areas 1 to 6 may reproduce or output sound having the same frequency domain or range, and thus, the harmony between the channels may be uniform. Therefore, the difference in sound quality between the case with the acoustic effect (for example, the case where the sound field is widened) and the case without the acoustic effect (for example, the case where the sound field is not widened) can be reduced, and uniform or constant sound quality can be achieved. As another example, the areas of the first, second, and

third regions

1, 2, and 3 may be larger than the areas of the fourth, fifth, and

sixth regions

4, 5, and 6. For example, the low sound range of the left and right stereo sound can be enhanced, so that the quality of normal sound without acoustic effect can be enhanced. As another example, the areas of the fourth, fifth and

sixth regions

4, 5 and 6 may be smaller than the areas of the first, second and

third regions

1, 2 and 3. For example, the low sound range of the channel associated with the acoustic effect can be enhanced, and therefore, in the case of reproducing a sound having the acoustic effect, the sound field as a space for expressing the sound can be increased, thereby enhancing the acoustic effect expressing the position of the sound. Therefore, the size of each of the first to sixth areas 1 to 6 can be adjusted based on a desired band.

Referring to fig. 29A to 29E, a partition may be further provided near the sound generation module. The partition may be an air gap or a space that generates sound when the display panel 110 vibrates. The air gap or space in which sound is generated or transmitted may be referred to as a partition. The partition portion may separate sounds or may separate sound channels, and may prevent or reduce the occurrence of unclear sounds caused by sound interference. The partition may be referred to as a housing or a baffle, but the term is not limited thereto. In the embodiments, an example in which the partition is provided to the rear cover will be described, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the partition may be disposed on the rear surface of the display panel 110. In order to illustrate the sound generation module and the partition, an example in which the partition is provided to the rear cover will be described. For example, in the case where the partition portion is provided to the rear cover, the influence of the partition portion on the image quality of the display panel can be reduced. As described above with reference to fig. 22, in the case where the sound generation module is provided to the rear cover, the partition may be provided to the rear cover.

Referring to fig. 29A, the partition may separate left and right sounds output from the sound generation module disposed on the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, the partitions may be disposed between the rear cover 300 and the display panel 110 corresponding to the first to sixth regions 1 to 6 of the display panel 110. For example, the fourth partition 1701 may be disposed between the first and

fourth regions

1 and 4 and the third region 3. For example, the fourth partition 1701 may be disposed between the first and

fourth regions

1 and 4 and the third and

sixth regions

3 and 6. The fifth partition 1702 may be disposed between the second and

fifth regions

2 and 5 and the third region 3. For example, the fifth partitions 1702 may be disposed between the second and

fifth regions

2 and 5 and the third and

sixth regions

3 and 6. The fourth partition 1701 and the fifth partition 1702 may separate left and right channels or left and right sounds generated in the sound generation module W1 and the fourth sound generation module 1500HL of the first integrated woofer and the sound generation module W2 and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR of the second integrated woofer.

To realize stereo or stereophonic sound, a fourth sound generation module 1500HL and a fifth sound generation module 1500HR may also be provided, and a partition should also be provided to separate the sound channels or sounds generated by the fourth sound generation module 1500HL and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR from the sound channels or sounds generated by the first integrated woofer sound generation module W1, the second integrated woofer sound generation module W2, and the third sound generation module 1500C. In the case where the fourth partition portion 1701 and the fifth partition portion 1702 are provided, left and right sounds or left and right channels may be separated. A partition for generating a sound of each sound generation module should be provided such that a top sound or a top channel is separated, and the sound generation modules provided in the region of the rear surface of the display panel 110 implement independent sounds for each region.

The partition may be configured to separate a top channel of the display panel 110 and a bottom channel of the display panel 110. For example, the first partition 1721 may separate a top channel of the display panel 110 and a bottom channel of the display panel 110. For example, the first partition 1721 may separate channels or sounds generated by the fourth and fifth sound generation modules 1500HL and 1500HR disposed at an upper portion of the display panel 110 from channels or sounds generated by the first, second, and third sound generation modules W1, W2, and 1500C of the first integrated woofer disposed at a lower portion of the display panel 110. The second partition 1722 may be disposed at a lower portion of the display panel 110 and may be separated from a driver for driving the display panel 110. For example, the second partition 1722 may be disposed below the first, second, and third integrated woofer sound producing modules W1, W2, and 1500C. For example, the second partition 1722 may be separated from the drivers for driving the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer, the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer, the third sound generation module 1500C, and the display panel 110.

The first partition 1721, the second partition 1722, the fourth partition 1701, and the fifth partition 1702 may be provided at the rear cover 300. For example, the first partition 1721, the second partition 1722, the fourth partition 1701, and the fifth partition 1702 may be provided on the front surface of the rear cover 300. For example, the first partition 1721, the second partition 1722, the fourth partition 1701, and the fifth partition 1702 may be disposed between the display panel 110 and the rear cover 300. For example, the first partition 1721, the second partition 1722, the fourth partition 1701, and the fifth partition 1702 may be disposed between the rear surface of the display panel 110 and the front surface of the rear cover 300.

The first partition 1721, the second partition 1722, the fourth partition 1701, and the fifth partition 1702 may be formed of one or more of a double-sided adhesive tape, a double-sided adhesive foam pad, a single-sided adhesive tape, a single-sided adhesive foam pad, an adhesive, and an adhesive member, but is not limited thereto. When each of the first partition 1721, the second partition 1722, the fourth partition 1701, and the fifth partition 1702 is formed of a double-sided tape or a double-sided tape foam pad, the adhesive force may be enhanced in the process of attaching the front surface of the rear cover 300 to the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, first partition 1721, second partition 1722, fourth partition 1701, and fifth partition 1702 may comprise a material having a resilient force capable of some degree of compression, and may comprise, for example, polyurethane, polyolefin, and/or polyethylene, among others, without limitation.

Referring to fig. 29B, a first partition 1721, a fourth partition 1701, and a fifth partition 1702 may be provided, and a partition 1750 may be provided between the rear cover 300 and the display panel 110. For example, the partition 1750 may be provided at an edge or periphery of the rear cover 300. For example, the partition 1750 may be provided at an edge or a periphery of the front surface of the rear cover 300. The partitions 1750 may be the entire regions of the four outer sides of the front surface of the rear cover 300. As another example, the partition 1750 may be disposed at an edge or a peripheral edge of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The partitions 1750 may be the entire regions of the four outer sides of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The partitions 1750 may be the entire area of the rear cover 300 or four outer sides of the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, the partition 1750 may be disposed to surround the third, fourth, and fifth sound generation modules 1500C, 1500HL, and 1500 HR. The partition 1750 may be disposed along the shape of the display panel 110 to prevent a moire phenomenon of the display panel 110. The moire phenomenon may be a phenomenon in which the shape of the connection portion described above with reference to fig. 4 or 9 bounces up the screen of the display panel when the thickness of the substrate configuring the display panel becomes thin, and the moire phenomenon may be a problem in that the display panel is not flat or the rear cover is not flat and unevenness of the screen is seen. For example, when the partition 1750 is an adhesive member for attaching the rear cover to the display panel described above with reference to fig. 8, 10, and 19 to 21, the adhesive member described above with reference to fig. 8, 10, and 19 to 21 may be omitted, and the partition 1750 may be used as the adhesive member. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the adhesive for attaching the display panel to the rear cover may be provided to the rear surface of the display panel or to the rear cover.

In the process of placing first partition 1721, fourth partition 1701, fifth partition 1702, and partition 1750, first partition 1721 may be placed, partition 1750 may be placed, and fourth partition 1701 and fifth partition 1702 may be subsequently placed. As another example, first partition 1721 may be placed, fourth partition 1701 and fifth partition 1702 may be placed, and partition 1750 may be placed subsequently. However, the order in which the partitions are placed does not limit the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The partition 1750 may be placed first in the length direction of the rear cover and then in the width direction. However, the order in which the partitions are placed does not limit the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the following embodiments, an example of placing the first partition 1721, placing the partition 1750, and then placing the fourth partition 1701 and the fifth partition 1702 is shown, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. Such description may be identically or similarly applied to the following embodiments.

Referring to fig. 29C, the shape of the first partition 1721 and the shape of the second partition 1722 may be differently implemented. The shape of the first portion 1721 and the shape of the second portion 1722 may be different from the shape of the display panel 110 or the shape of the fourth partition 1701 and the shape of the fifth partition 1702. For example, the first and

second partitions

1721 and 1722 may have a non-flat shape or may not have a linear shape. When the partition has a non-flat shape or does not have a linear shape, the partition may diffuse (diffuse) the standing wave. For example, when the partitions are implemented in a zigzag shape, a triangular shape, and a rounded-end triangular shape, the standing wave may be diffused in various directions by the zigzag shape, the triangular shape, and the rounded-end triangular shape, thereby enhancing the sound output characteristics. For example, the first and

second partitions

1721 and 1722 may have a saw-tooth shape, a triangular shape, and a rounded-end triangular shape. For example, the serrations of the partition may be disposed toward the sound generation module. For example, when the partition has a triangular shape, the end of the triangle may be disposed toward the sound generation module. For example, when the partition has a rounded-end triangular shape, the end of the rounded-end triangular shape may be disposed toward the sound generation module. For example, referring to fig. 29C, when the first partition 1721 has a rounded-end triangular shape, the ends of the rounded-end triangular shape may be disposed toward the fourth and fifth sound generation modules 1500HL and 1500 HR. For example, referring to fig. 29C, when the second partition 1722 has a rounded-end triangular shape, the ends of the rounded-end triangular shape may be disposed toward the first integrated woofer sound generating module W1, the second integrated woofer sound generating module W2, and the third sound generating module 1500C. Accordingly, since the shape of the partition is disposed toward the at least one sound generation module, a rising or sinking phenomenon caused by a standing wave of the sound generation module may be controlled, and a moire phenomenon of the display panel may be reduced. Further, by changing the shape of the partition, it is possible to solve sound interference such as diffused reflection (diffused reflection) of the sound generation module.

Referring to fig. 29D and 29E, a spacer (pad) may be further provided on at least one side of the partition. A standing wave causing a reduction in sound pressure may occur at a position where the level of each of the asymptotic wave and the reflected wave is highest. Therefore, the pad block can be disposed at a position where the sound wave transmitted from the sound generation module is strongest. For example, the spacer may be provided at one or more sides of the partition, where the strongest sound waves reach, and may be provided towards the sound generating module.

Referring to fig. 29D, a spacer may be disposed at least one side of the fourth partition 1701 to face the first and fourth sound generation modules W1 and 1500HL of the integrated woofer. For example, the 1 st-3 rd pads 713 may be disposed on at least one side of the fourth partition 1701 to face the sound production module W1 of the first integrated woofer. The 1 st-1 block 711 may be disposed on a side facing the 1 st-3 block 713. The 1 st-1 st block 711 and the 1 st-3 rd block 713 may be provided as one, respectively, but are not limited thereto. One of the 1 st-1 st block 711 and the 1 st-3 rd block 713 may be provided in two or more. For example, the 4 th-3 pod 723 and the 4 th-4 pod 724 may be disposed on at least one side of the fourth partition 1701 to face the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. 4-1 head block 721 and 4-2 head block 722 may be disposed on a side facing 4-3 head block 723 and 4-4 head block 724. The 4 th-1 st block 721 to the 4 th-4 th block 724 may be provided in two, respectively, but are not limited thereto. One of the 4 th-1 st block 721 to the 4 th-4 th block 724 may be provided as one or three or more. For example, the 3 rd-1 pad 911 may be disposed at least at the other side of the fourth partition 1701 to face the third sound generation module 1500C. The 3 rd-1 spacer 911 may be provided as one or more.

A pad may be disposed at least one side of the fifth partition 1702 to face the sound generation module W2 and the fifth sound generation module 1500HR of the second integrated woofer. For example, the 2 nd-1 st pad 811 may be disposed on at least one side of the fifth partition 1702 to face the sound production module W2 of the second integrated woofer. The 2 nd-3 rd block 813 may be disposed on the side facing the 2 nd-1 st block 811. In fig. 29D, the 2 nd-1 st block 811 and the 2 nd-3 rd block 813 may each be provided as one, but are not limited thereto. One of the 2 nd-1 st block 811 and the 2 nd-3 rd block 813 may be provided in two or more. For example, the 5 th-1 st spacer 821 and the 5 th-2 nd spacer 822 may be disposed on at least one side of the fifth partition 1702 to face the fifth sound generating module 1500 HR. 5-3 head block 823 and 5-4 head block 824 may be disposed on a side facing 5-1 head block 821 and 5-2 head block 822. The 5-1 st block 821 to the 5-4 th block 824 may be provided in two, respectively, but are not limited thereto, and one of the 5-1 st blocks 821 to 5-4824 may be provided in one or three or more. For example, the 3 rd-3 pad 913 may be disposed at least at another side of the fifth partition 1702 to face the third sound producing module 1500C. One of the 3 rd-1 st and 3 rd-3

rd pods

911 and 913 may be provided as one or more.

A pad may be disposed at least one side of the first partition 1721 to face the first integrated woofer sound generating module W1, the second integrated woofer sound generating module W2, and the third sound generating module 1500C. For example, the 1 st to 5 th spacers 715 may be disposed on at least one side of the first partition 1721 to face the sound generating module W1 of the first integrated woofer. For example, the 2 nd-5 th pads 815 may be disposed at least one side of the first partition 1721 to face the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer. For example, the 3 rd to 5 th spacer 915 may be disposed at least one side of the first partition 1721 to face the third sound generating module 1500C. For example, the 4 th-6 th pad 726 may be disposed at least another side of the first partition 1721 to face the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. For example, the 5 th-6 th pad 826 may be disposed at least at the other side of the first partition 1721 to face the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. For example, the 4 th-5 th block 725 may be disposed at a side facing the 4 th-6 th block 726, and the 4 th-5 th block 725 may be disposed to face the fourth sound generation module 1500 HL. The 5 th-5 th pad 825 may be disposed at a side facing the 5 th-6 th pad 826, and the 5 th-5 th pad 825 may be disposed to face the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. Each of 1-5 block 715, 2-5 block 815, 3-5 block 915, 4-5 block 725, 4-6 block 726, 5-5 block 825, and 5-6 block 826 may be provided as one. As another example, one of 1-5 head block 715, 2-5 head block 815, 3-5 head block 915, 4-5 head block 725, 4-6 head block 726, 5-5 head block 825, and 5-6 head block 826 may be provided in two or more.

For example, the 1 st to 6 th head blocks 716 may be disposed at least one side of the second partition 1722 to face the sound generating module W1 of the first integrated woofer. For example, the 2 nd-6 th pad 816 may be disposed at least one side of the second partition 1722 to face the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer. For example, the 3 rd to 6 th spacer 916 may be disposed at least one side of the second partition 1722 to face the third sound generating module 1500C. For example, the 1 st to 5 th pads 715 may be disposed at a side facing the 1 st to 6 th pads 716, and the 1 st to 5 th pads 715 may be disposed to face the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer. The 2 nd-5 th pad 815 may be disposed at a side facing the 2 nd-6 th pad 816, and the 2 nd-5 th pad 815 may be disposed to face the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer. The 3 rd-5 pad 915 may be disposed at a side facing the 3 rd-6 pad 916, and the 3 rd-5 pad 915 may be disposed to face the third sound generating module 1500C. The 1 st-5 th block 715, the 1 st-6 th block 716, the 2 nd-5 th block 815, the 2 nd-6 th block 816, the 3 rd-5 th block 915 and the 3 rd-6 th block 916 may be provided as one. As another example, one of blocks 1-5 715, 1-6, 716, 2-5, 815, 2-6, 3-5, 915, and 3-6 may be provided as two or more.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the size of each of the 1 st-1 head block 711 and the 1 st-3 head block 713 is shown to be larger than the size of each of the 1 st-5 head block 715 and the 1 st-6 head block 716, but the size of each head block does not limit the description of the present disclosure. For example, the dimensions of 1 st-1

head block

711 and 1 st-3 head block 713 may be equal to or greater than the dimensions of each of 1 st-5

head block

715 and 1 st-6 head block 716. This may apply equally to the other head blocks. In fig. 29D, the partition may not be provided near the rear cover 300. The rear cover 300 may be attached to the display panel 110 by an adhesive member for attaching the display panel to the rear cover as described above with reference to fig. 8, 10, and 19 to 21, and the adhesive member may be a partition.

Referring to fig. 29E, the first and

second partitions

1721 and 1722 may include at least one bent portion. The bent portion may be provided to reduce a decrease in sound pressure caused by a standing wave occurring due to interference between the reflected wave and the asymptotic wave. The curved portion may be provided on one or more sides of the partition, where the strongest sound waves reach, and may be provided toward the sound generation module.

The first partition 1721 may include at least one bent portion. For example, the first partition 1721 may include the first bent portion 701 facing the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer and may include the second bent portion 702 facing the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer. Further, the first partition 1721 may include a third bent portion 703 toward the third sound generation module 1500C. In addition, a reduction in sound pressure caused by the standing waves of the fourth and fifth sound generation modules 1500HL and 1500HR may be reduced by the 4 th to 5 th block 725 and the 5 th to 5 th block 825.

The second partition 1722 may include at least one bent portion. For example, the second partition 1722 may include the fourth bending portion 704 facing the sound generating module W1 of the first integrated woofer and may include the fifth bending portion 705 facing the sound generating module W2 of the second integrated woofer. Further, the second partition 1722 may include a sixth bending part 706 toward the third sound generating module 1500C. The bending part may have a V-shaped closed structure at the center of the sound generation module, but is not limited thereto, and may have an open structure at the center of the sound generation module. In the case where the bending part has an open structure in the center of the sound generation module, the material cost can be reduced as compared with a closed structure. According to the sound characteristic experiment, the inventors have confirmed that there is very little or no difference in sound characteristics in the case where the bending portion has an open structure in the center portion of the sound generation module and in the case where the bending portion has a closed structure in the center portion of the sound generation module. Accordingly, since each of the first and

second partitions

1721 and 1722 includes at least one bent portion, a reduction in sound pressure caused by standing waves of the sound generation module may be reduced.

Referring to fig. 29E, the first and

second partitions

1721 and 1722 may include at least one bent portion, and a partition 1750 may be provided. For example, one or more spacers may be disposed on one side of divider 1750. The 4 th-5 spacer 725 may be disposed at a side of the partition 1750 to face the fourth sound generating module 1500HL, and the 5 th-5 spacer 825 may be disposed at a side of the partition 1750 to face the fifth sound generating module 1500 HR. Since the partition 1750 is provided, a fixing force of the sound generation module provided on the rear surface of the display panel may be enhanced, and sound leakage occurring at the edge of the display panel may be reduced, thereby enhancing sound output characteristics.

Referring to fig. 30A and 30B, the description thereof is the same as or similar to that given above with reference to fig. 29A and 29B, and thus is omitted.

Referring to fig. 30C, the first partition 1721 may be provided as two partitions, but is not limited thereto. For example, first partition 1721 may include 1 st-1

st partition

1721a and 1 st-2 nd partition 1721b, and may be configured in an end rounded triangle shape. The end of the triangular shape or the rounded-end triangular shape of the 1 st-1 st partition 1721a may be disposed to face the fourth and fifth sound generation modules 1500HL and 1500 HR. The end of the triangular shape or the rounded-end triangular shape of the 1 st-2 nd partition 1721b may be disposed to face the first sound generation module 1500L, the second sound generation module 1500R, and the third sound generation module 1500C. The ends of the triangular shape or the rounded-end triangular shape of the second partition 1722 may be disposed to face the first, second, and third

sound generation modules

1500L, 1500R, and 1500C. Accordingly, a rising or sinking phenomenon caused by the standing wave of the sound generation module may be controlled, and a moire phenomenon of the display panel may be reduced. Other elements are the same as or similar to fig. 29C, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted. The embodiment of fig. 29C may be equally applied to each of the partitions of fig. 30C. The embodiment of fig. 30C may be equally applied to each of the partitions of fig. 29.

Referring to fig. 30D, a first partition 1721, a fourth partition 1701, a fifth partition 1702, and a partition 1750 may be provided. For example, the partition 1750 may be provided to surround the first to fifth sound generation modules 1500L to 1500 HR. For example, one or more spacers may be disposed on one side of divider 1750. The 4 th-5 th spacer 725 may be disposed at one side of the partition 1750 to face the fourth sound generation module 1500HL, and the 5 th-5 th spacer 825 may be disposed at one side of the partition 1750 to face the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. The 1 st-6 th pad 716 may be disposed at the other side of the partition 1750 to face the first sound generation module 1500L, the 3 rd-6 th pad 916 may be disposed at the other side of the partition 1750 to face the third sound generation module 1500C, and the 2 nd-6 th pad 816 may be disposed at the other side of the partition 1750 to face the second sound generation module 1500R. Since the partition 1750 is provided, a fixing force of the sound generation module provided on the rear surface of the display panel may be enhanced, and sound leakage occurring at the edge of the display panel may be reduced, thereby enhancing sound output characteristics. In fig. 30D, the partition may not be provided near the back cover 300. The rear cover 300 may be attached to the display panel 110 by an adhesive member for attaching the display panel to the rear cover as described above with reference to fig. 8, 10, and 19 to 21, and the adhesive member may be a partition. Other elements are the same as or similar to those of fig. 29D, and thus detailed descriptions thereof are omitted. The embodiment of fig. 29D may be equally applied to each of the partitions of fig. 30D. The embodiment of fig. 30D may be equally applied to each of the partitions of fig. 29D.

Referring to fig. 30E, the first partition 1721 may include one or more bends. For example, the first partition 1721 may include a first bent portion 701 toward the first sound generation module 1500L and may include a second bent portion 702 toward the second sound generation module 1500R. Further, the first partition 1721 may include a third bent portion 703 toward the third sound generating module 1500C. In addition, a reduction in sound pressure caused by the standing waves of the fourth and fifth sound generation modules 1500HL and 1500HR may be reduced by the 4 th to 5 th block 725 and the 5 th to 5 th block 825.

The second partition 1722 may include one or more bent portions. For example, the second partition 1722 may include a fourth bent portion 704 toward the first sound generation module 1500L and may include a fifth bent portion 705 toward the second sound generation module 1500R. Further, the second partition 1722 may include a sixth bent portion 706 toward the third sound generation module 1500C. The bending part may have a V-shaped closed structure at the center of the sound generation module, but is not limited thereto, and may have an open structure at the center of the sound generation module. In the case where the bent portion has an open structure at the center portion of the sound generation module, the material cost can be reduced as compared with a closed structure. According to the sound characteristic experiment, the inventors have confirmed that there is very little or no difference in sound characteristics in the case where the bending portion has an open structure in the center portion of the sound generation module and in the case where the bending portion has a closed structure in the center portion of the sound generation module. Accordingly, since each of the first and

second partitions

1721 and 1722 includes at least one bent portion, a reduction in sound pressure caused by standing waves of the sound generation module may be reduced. Other elements are the same as or similar to fig. 29E, and thus detailed descriptions thereof are omitted. The embodiment of fig. 29E may be equally applied to each of the partitions of fig. 30E. The embodiment of fig. 30E may be equally applied to each of the partitions of fig. 29E.

Referring to fig. 31A to 31E, the rear surface of the display panel 110 may include first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15. The first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15 may have the same area, but are not limited thereto. For example, the first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15 may be arranged at equal intervals, but are not limited thereto. The size of each of the first to fifteenth areas 1 to 15 may be controlled based on a desired band. For example, the first, fourth, and

seventh regions

eighth regions

ninth regions

3, 6, and 9 may be central regions of the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, the sixth region 6 may be a region between the fourth region 4 and the fifth region 5. For example, the ninth region 9 may be a region between the seventh region 7 and the eighth region 8. For example, the tenth region 10 may be a region between the first region 1 and the third region 3. For example, the eleventh region 11 may be a region between the second region 2 and the third region 3. For example, the seventh area 7 may be below the first area 1, and the eighth area 8 may be below the second area 2. For example, the tenth, twelfth and

fourteenth regions

10, 12 and 14 may be regions between the first, fourth and

seventh regions

1, 4 and 7 and the third, sixth and

ninth regions

3, 6 and 9. For example, the eleventh, thirteenth and

fifteenth regions

11, 13 and 15 may be regions between the second, fifth and

eighth regions

2, 5 and 8 and the third, sixth and

ninth regions

3, 6 and 9. Reference numerals 1 to 15 indicating regions among the first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15 may be arbitrarily displayed, and the classification of the reference numerals 1 to 15 and the first to fifteenth regions 1 to 15 does not limit the description of the present disclosure. The description related thereto can be applied to fig. 31B to 43C identically or similarly.

Referring to fig. 31A, a partition may be further provided near the sound generation module. For example, the partition may be disposed between the rear cover 300 and the display panel 110 corresponding to the first to eleventh regions 1 to 11. For example, the fourth partitions 1713 may be disposed between the first, fourth and

seventh regions

1, 4 and 7 and the third, sixth and

ninth regions

3, 6 and 9. The fourth separating part 1713 may separate channels or sounds generated by the first, fourth, and seventh sound generation modules 1500L, 1500HL, and 1500BL from channels or sounds generated by the third, sixth, and ninth sound generation modules 1500C, 1500HC, and 1500 BC. For example, the fifth dividing parts 1714 may be disposed between the second, fifth, and

eighth regions

2, 5, and 8 and the third, sixth, and

ninth regions

3, 6, and 9. The fifth divider 1714 may separate channels or sounds generated by the second, fifth, and eighth sound generation modules 1500R, 1500HR, and 1500BR from channels or sounds generated by the third, sixth, and ninth sound generation modules 1500C, 1500HC, and 1500 BC. Therefore, the fourth and

fifth partitions

1713 and 1714 may separate the left and right sounds.

The first partition 1721 may separate a top channel of the display panel 110 and a bottom channel of the display panel 110. For example, the first partition 1721 may separate channels or sounds generated by the fourth, fifth, and sixth sound generation modules 1500HL, 1500HR, and 1500HC disposed at an upper portion of the display panel 110 from channels or sounds generated by the seventh, eighth, and ninth sound generation modules 1500BL, 1500BR, and 1500BC disposed at a lower portion of the display panel 110.

To realize stereo or stereophonic sound, a tenth sound generation module 1500LC and an eleventh sound generation module 1500RC may be further provided, and a partition should be provided to separate a channel or sound generated by the tenth sound generation module 1500LC from channels or sounds generated by the seventh sound generation module 1500BL, the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, and the ninth sound generation module 1500 BC. Further, a partition should be provided for separating the channel or sound generated by the eleventh sound generation module 1500RC from the channels or sounds generated by the seventh sound generation module 1500BL, the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, and the ninth sound generation module 1500 BC. The fourth and

fifth partitions

1713 and 1714 may separate left and right sounds or left and right channels. To realize stereo or stereophonic sound, a tenth sound generation module 1500LC and an eleventh sound generation module 1500RC may be further provided, and a partition portion should be provided for separating a channel or sound generated by the tenth sound generation module 1500LC from channels or sounds generated by the first, fourth, and seventh sound generation modules 1500L, 1500HL, and 1500 BL. Further, a partition should be provided for separating the channel or sound generated by the eleventh sound generation module 1500RC from the channels or sounds generated by the second, fifth and eighth sound generation modules 1500R, 1500HR and 1500 BR. In the case where the first partition 1721 is provided, the top and bottom sounds or the top and bottom channels may be separated from each other, but the top and bottom sounds or the top and bottom channels may not be separated from the center sound or the center channel, and thus a partition should be provided. In the case where the fourth and

fifth separating portions

1713 and 1714 are provided, the left and right sounds or the left and right channels may be separated, but the left and right sounds or the left and right channels may not be separated from the center sound or the center channel, and thus a separating portion should be provided.

For example, the sixth separator 1711 may be located between the first, fourth and

seventh regions

1, 4, 7 and the tenth region 10. For example, the sixth divider 1711 may separate the channels or sounds generated by the first, fourth, and seventh sound generation modules 1500L, 1500HL, and 1500BL from the channels or sounds generated by the tenth sound generation module 1500LC, thereby enhancing sound output characteristics. For example, the sixth divider 1711 may separate channels or sounds generated by the first, fourth, and seventh sound generation modules 1500L, 1500HL, and 1500BL from channels or sounds generated by the third, sixth, and ninth sound generation modules 1500C, 1500HC, and 1500BC, thereby enhancing sound output characteristics. For example, the sixth dividing portion 1711 may separate a left side sound or a left channel, a left center sound or a left center channel, and a center sound or a center channel, thereby enhancing sound output characteristics.

For example, the seventh divider 1712 may be located between the second, fifth and

eighth regions

2, 5 and 8 and the eleventh region 11. For example, the seventh partition 1712 may separate channels or sounds generated by the second, fifth, and eighth sound generation modules 1500R, 1500HR, and 1500BR from channels or sounds generated by the eleventh sound generation module 1500RC, thereby enhancing sound output characteristics. For example, the seventh partition 1712 may separate channels or sounds generated by the second, fifth, and eighth sound generation modules 1500R, 1500HR, and 1500BR from channels or sounds generated by the third, sixth, and ninth sound generation modules 1500C, 1500HC, and 1500BC, thereby enhancing sound output characteristics. For example, the seventh separating portion 1712 may separate the right side sound or the right channel, the right center sound or the right center channel, and the center sound or the center channel, thereby enhancing sound output characteristics.

For example, the fourth divider 1713 may be disposed between the third, sixth and

ninth regions

3, 6, 9 and 10. For example, the fourth separating part 1713 may separate channels or sounds generated by the third, sixth, and ninth sound generation modules 1500C, 1500HC, and 1500BC from channels or sounds generated by the tenth sound generation module 1500LC, thereby enhancing sound output characteristics. For example, the fifth dividing parts 1714 may be disposed between the third, sixth, and

ninth regions

3, 6, 9 and the eleventh region 11. For example, the fifth divider 1714 may separate channels or sounds generated by the third, sixth, and ninth sound generation modules 1500C, 1500HC, and 1500BC from channels or sounds generated by the eleventh sound generation module 1500RC, thereby enhancing sound output characteristics. For example, the fourth partition 1713 may separate the center region channel or sound and the left center region channel or sound. For example, the fifth division 1714 may separate the center-region channel or sound and the right center-region channel or sound.

The first partition 1721 may separate a top channel of the display panel 110 and a bottom channel of the display panel 110. For example, the first separating part 1721 may separate channels or sounds generated by the fourth, fifth, and sixth sound generation modules 1500HL, 1500HR, and 1500HC from channels or sounds generated by the seventh, eighth, and ninth sound generation modules 1500BL, 1500BR, and 1500 BC. The first partition 1721 may separate a top channel of the display panel 110 and a center channel of the display panel 110. For example, the first separating part 1721 may separate channels or sounds generated by the fourth, fifth, and sixth sound generation modules 1500HL, 1500HR, and 1500HC from channels or sounds generated by the first, second, third, tenth, and eleventh

sound generation modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500C, 1500LC, and 1500 RC.

The second partition 1722 may separate a center channel of the display panel 110 and a bottom channel of the display panel 110. For example, the second partition 1722 may separate channels or sounds generated by the first, second, third, tenth and eleventh

sound generation modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500C, 1500LC and 1500RC from channels or sounds generated by the seventh, eighth and ninth sound generation modules 1500BL, 1500BR and 1500 BC. The third partition 1723 may separate the bottom channel of the display panel 110 and the woofer. For example, the third partition 1723 may be disposed below the seventh sound generation module 1500BL, the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, and the ninth sound generation module 1500 BC. For example, the third partition 1723 may separate the channel or sound generated by the seventh sound generation module 1500BL, the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, and the ninth sound generation module 1500BC from the channel or sound generated by the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4.

First partition 1721, second partition 1722, third partition 1723, fourth partition 1713, fifth partition 1714, sixth partition 1711, and seventh partition 1712 may be disposed at rear cover 300. For example, first partition 1721, second partition 1722, third partition 1723, fourth partition 1713, fifth partition 1714, sixth partition 1711, and seventh partition 1712 may be disposed on the front surface of rear cover 300. For example, a first partition 1721, a second partition 1722, a third partition 1723, a fourth partition 1713, a fifth partition 1714, a sixth partition 1711, and a seventh partition 1712 may be disposed between the display panel 110 and the rear cover 300. For example, the first partition 1721, the second partition 1722, the third partition 1723, the fourth partition 1713, the fifth partition 1714, the sixth partition 1711, and the seventh partition 1712 may be disposed between the rear surface of the display panel 110 and the front surface of the rear cover 300.

First divider 1721, second divider 1722, third divider 1723, fourth divider 1713, fifth divider 1714, sixth divider 1711, and seventh divider 1712 may be formed of one or more of a double-sided tape, a double-sided tape foam pad, a single-sided tape foam pad, an adhesive, and an adhesive, but are not limited thereto. When each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and

seventh partitions

1721, 1722, 1723, 1713, 1714, 1711, and 1712 is formed of a double-sided adhesive tape, a double-sided adhesive foam tape, or a double-sided adhesive foam pad, the adhesive force may be enhanced in the process of attaching the front surface of the rear cover 300 to the rear surface of the display panel 110. For example, first divider 1721, second divider 1722, third divider 1723, fourth divider 1713, fifth divider 1714, sixth divider 1711, and seventh divider 1712 may comprise a material having a spring force capable of some degree of compression, and may comprise, for example, polyurethane, polyolefin, and/or polyethylene, among others, but is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 31A to 31E, the fourth sound generation module 1500HL may be disposed in the fourth region 4, the sixth sound generation module 1500HC may be disposed in the sixth region 6, and no sound generation module may be disposed in the twelfth region 12. Accordingly, the vibration of each of the fourth and sixth sound generating modules 1500HL and 1500HC may be attenuated or absorbed in the twelfth region 12 of the display panel 110, so that the transmission of the sound of the fourth region 4 to the sixth region 6 may be prevented or reduced, and the transmission of the sound of the sixth region 6 to the fourth region 4 may be prevented or reduced. Therefore, the deterioration of the sound quality caused by the sound interference occurring in the fourth region 4 and the sixth region 6 can be reduced, and the sound characteristics of the midbass band can be further enhanced. For example, the fifth sound generation module 1500HR may be provided in the fifth region 5, the sixth sound generation module 1500HC may be provided in the sixth region 6, and no sound generation module may be provided in the thirteenth region 13. Accordingly, the vibration of each of the fifth and sixth sound generating modules 1500HR and 1500HC may be attenuated or absorbed in the thirteenth region 13 of the display panel 110, so that the transmission of the sound of the fifth region 5 to the sixth region 6 may be prevented or reduced, and the transmission of the sound of the sixth region 6 to the fifth region 5 may be prevented or reduced. Therefore, the deterioration of the sound quality caused by the sound interference occurring in the fifth and

sixth areas

5 and 6 can be reduced, and the sound characteristics of the midbass band can be further enhanced.

The seventh sound generation module 1500BL may be disposed in the seventh region 7, the ninth sound generation module 1500BC may be disposed in the ninth region 9, and no sound generation module may be disposed in the fourteenth region 14. Accordingly, the vibration of each of the seventh sound generation module 1500BL and the ninth sound generation module 1500BC may be attenuated or absorbed in the fourteenth region 14 of the display panel 110, so that the transmission of the sound of the seventh region 7 to the ninth region 9 may be prevented or reduced, and the transmission of the sound of the ninth region 9 to the seventh region 7 may be prevented or reduced. Therefore, the degradation of sound quality caused by sound interference occurring in the seventh region 7 and the ninth region 9 can be reduced, and the sound characteristics of the midbass band can be further enhanced. For example, the eighth sound generation module 1500BR may be disposed in the eighth region 8, the ninth sound generation module 1500BC may be disposed in the ninth region 9, and no sound generation module may be disposed in the fifteenth region 15. Accordingly, vibrations of the eighth and ninth sound generation modules 1500BR and 1500BC may be attenuated or absorbed in the fifteenth region 15 of the display panel 110, so that transmission of sound of the eighth region 8 to the ninth region 9 may be prevented or reduced, and transmission of sound of the ninth region 9 to the eighth region 8 may be prevented or reduced. Therefore, the deterioration of the sound quality caused by the sound interference occurring in the eighth region 8 and the ninth region 9 can be reduced, and the sound characteristics of the midbass band can be further enhanced.

In fig. 31A, a partition may not be provided near the rear cover 300. The rear cover 300 may be attached to the display panel 110 by an adhesive member for attaching the display panel to the rear cover as described above with reference to fig. 8, 10, and 19 to 21, and the adhesive member may be a partition.

In the process of placing first partition 1721, second partition 1722, third partition 1723, fourth partition 1713, fifth partition 1714, sixth partition 1711, and seventh partition 1712, first partition 1721, second partition 1722, third partition 1723 may be placed, and then fourth partition 1713, fifth partition 1714, sixth partition 1711, and seventh partition 1712 may be placed. As another example, fourth, fifth, sixth, and

seventh partitions

1713, 1714, 1711, and 1712 may be placed, and then first, second, and

third partitions

1721, 1722, and 1723 may be placed. However, the order in which the partitions are placed does not limit the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the following embodiments, an example of placing first partition 1721, second partition 1722, third partition 1723, and then placing fourth partition 1713, fifth partition 1714, sixth partition 1711, and seventh partition 1712 is shown, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. Such description may be identically or similarly applied to the following embodiments.

Referring to fig. 31B, a first partition 1721, a second partition 1722, a third partition 1723, a fourth partition 1713, a fifth partition 1714, a sixth partition 1711 and a seventh partition 1712 may be provided, and a partition 1750 may be provided between the back cover 300 and the display panel 110. For example, the partition 1750 may be provided at an edge or periphery of the rear cover 300. The partitions 1750 may be the entire regions of the four outer sides of the front surface of the rear cover 300. As another example, the partition 1750 may be disposed at an edge or a peripheral edge of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The partition 1750 may be the entire area of the four outer sides of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The partition 1750 may be the entire area of the rear surface of the display panel 110 or the rear cover 300. The partition 1750 may be disposed along the shape of the display panel 110 to prevent a moire phenomenon of the display panel 110. For example, when the partition 1750 is an adhesive member for attaching the rear cover to the display panel as described above with reference to fig. 8, 10, and 19 to 21, the adhesive member as described above with reference to fig. 8, 10, and 19 to 21 may be omitted. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and an adhesive for attaching the display panel to the rear cover may be provided on the rear surface of the display panel or the rear cover. Other elements are the same as or similar to those of fig. 31A, and thus detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

Referring to fig. 31C, the shape of the first partition 1721, the shape of the second partition 1722, and the shape of the third partition 1723 may be variously implemented. The shape of the first partition 1721, the shape of the second partition 1722, and the shape of the third partition 1723 may be different from the shape of the display panel 110. For example, the first partition 1721, the second partition 1722, and the third partition 1723 may have a non-flat shape or may not have a linear shape. When the partition has a non-flat shape or does not have a linear shape, the partition may diffuse the standing wave. For example, when the partitions are implemented in a zigzag shape, a triangular shape, and a rounded-end triangular shape, the standing wave may be diffused in various directions by the zigzag shape, the triangular shape, and the rounded-end triangular shape, thereby enhancing the sound output characteristics. For example, the first, second, and

third partitions

1721, 1722, and 1723 may have a saw-tooth shape, a triangular shape, and a rounded-end triangular shape. For example, the serrations of the partition may be disposed toward the sound generation module. For example, when the partition has a triangular shape, the end of the triangle may be disposed toward the sound generation module. For example, when the partition has a rounded-end triangular shape, the end of the rounded-end triangular shape may be disposed toward the sound generation module. For example, referring to fig. 31C, when the first partition 1721 has a rounded-end triangular shape, the ends of the rounded-end triangular shape may be disposed toward the fourth, fifth, and sixth sound generation modules 1500HL, 1500HR, and 1500 HC. For example, when the second partition 1722 has a rounded-end triangular shape, ends of the rounded-end triangular shape may be disposed toward the first, second, third, tenth and eleventh sound-generating

modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500C and 1500 RC. For example, when the third partition 1723 has a rounded-end triangular shape, the ends of the rounded-end triangular shape may be disposed toward the seventh sound-generating module 1500BL, the eighth sound-generating module 1500BR, and the ninth sound-generating module 1500 BC. Accordingly, since the shape of the partition is disposed toward the at least one sound generation module, a rising or sinking phenomenon caused by a standing wave of the sound generation module may be controlled, and a moire phenomenon of the display panel may be reduced. Further, by changing the shape of the partition portion, it is possible to solve sound interference such as diffuse reflection of the sound generation module.

Referring to fig. 31D, a spacer may be disposed at least one side of the sixth partition 1711 to face the first, fourth, and seventh sound generation modules 1500L, 1500HL, and 1500 BL.

A spacer may be disposed at least another side of the sixth partition 1711 to face the tenth sound generating module 1500 LC. For example, the 10 th-1 pad 741 may be disposed at least another side of the sixth partition 1711 to face the tenth sound generating module 1500 LC. The 10 th-1 th pad 741 may be provided as one, but is not limited thereto, and may be provided as two or more.

A spacer may be disposed at least one side of the seventh partition 1712 to face the second, fifth, and eighth sound generation modules 1500R, 1500HR, and 1500 BR.

The 2 nd-3 rd block 813 may be disposed on a side facing the 2 nd-1 th block 811. The 2 nd-1 st block 811 and the 2 nd-3 rd block 813 may each be provided as one, but are not limited thereto. One of the 2 nd-1 st block 811 and the 2 nd-3 rd block 813 may be provided in two or more. For example, the 5 th-1 th spacer 821 may be disposed on at least one side of the seventh partition 1712 to face the fifth sound generation module 1500 HR. The 5-3 th block 823 may be disposed on a side facing the 5-1 th block 821. The 5-1 st block 821 and the 5-3 rd block 823 may be provided as one each, but are not limited thereto.

For example, as described above with reference to fig. 30E, when the third partition 1723 includes the bent portion in fig. 32E, the bent portion may be disposed to face the seventh sound generation module 1500BL, the eighth sound generation module 1500BR, the ninth sound generation module 1500BC, the fourteenth sound generation module 1500BLC, and the fifteenth sound generation module 1500 BRC.

In the embodiment described above with reference to fig. 29A to 32E, the spacer, and the bent portion may be compatibly applied. For example, the third partition 1723 may not be provided in fig. 31D, and the partition 1750 and the spacer of fig. 32D may be provided.

Fig. 33 illustrates a sound generation module according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 34 is a sectional view taken along the line IV-IV' shown in fig. 33.

Referring to fig. 33 and 34, a sound generation module 1900 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include a piezoelectric composite layer PCL, a first electrode 230, and a second electrode 240.

The piezoelectric composite layer PCL may include a plurality of first portions 210 and a plurality of second portions 220, each of the second portions 220 being disposed between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210. For example, the piezoelectric composite layer PCL may include a plurality of first portions 210 and a plurality of second portions 220 alternately and repeatedly arranged in the first direction X.

Each of the plurality of first portions 210 may have a first width d1 parallel to the first direction X and a length parallel to the second direction Y. Each of the plurality of second portions 220 may have a second width d2 equal to the first width d1 and a length parallel to the second direction Y. For example, the first portion 210 and the second portion 220 may include a line type or a bar type having the same size.

Each of the plurality of first portions 210 may include a polygonal pattern. For example, each of the plurality of first portions 210 may have a line pattern having a first width d1, and the plurality of first portions 210 may be spaced apart from each other in the first direction X to have a second width d2 (or interval), and may be arranged parallel to the second direction Y crossing the first direction X. Each of the plurality of first portions 210 may have the same size (e.g., the same width, area, or volume) within a process error range (or an allowable error) occurring in the manufacturing process.

Each of the plurality of first portions 210 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include an inorganic material or a piezoelectric material that vibrates based on a piezoelectric effect (or piezoelectric characteristics) caused by an electric field. For example, each of the plurality of first portions 210 may be referred to as an electro-active portion, an inorganic material portion, a piezoelectric material portion, or a vibration portion, but the term is not limited thereto.

Each of the plurality of first portions 210 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be formed of a ceramic-based material for generating relatively high vibration or may be formed of a piezoelectric ceramic having a perovskite-based crystal structure. The perovskite crystal structure may have a piezoelectric effect and an inverse piezoelectric effect, and may be a plate-like structure having an orientation. The perovskite crystal structure may be represented by the chemical formula "ABO₃"means. Here, a may include a divalent metallic element, and B may include a tetravalent metallic element. For example, in the formula "ABO₃"wherein A and B may be cations and O may be anions. Example (B)E.g. of the formula "ABO₃"may include PbTiO₃、PbZrO₃、BaTiO₃And SrTiO₃But is not limited thereto.

Including central ions in the perovskite crystal structure (e.g. PbTiO) ₃) In the case of (2), the position of Ti ions can be changed by an external stress or a magnetic field, and thus polarization can be changed, thereby generating a piezoelectric effect. For example, in the perovskite crystal structure, the cubic shape corresponding to the symmetric structure may be changed to a tetragonal (e.g., quadrilateral), orthorhombic (orthorhombic), or rhombic (rhomobehendral) structure corresponding to the asymmetric structure, and thus, a piezoelectric effect may be generated. In a tetragonal (e.g., tetragonal), orthogonal, or rhombohedral structure corresponding to an asymmetric structure, polarization at the morphotropic phase boundary may be high and rearrangement of polarization may be easy, so that the perovskite crystal structure may have high piezoelectric characteristics.

For example, the inorganic material portion included in each of the plurality of first portions 210 may include one or more materials of lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), titanium (Ti), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), and niobium (Nb), but is not limited thereto.

As another example, the inorganic material portion included in each of the plurality of first portions 210 may include a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) -based material including lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), and titanium (Ti), or may include a lead zirconate niobate (PZNN) -based material including lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), and niobium (Nb), but is not limited thereto. Further, the inorganic material portion may include CaTiO not containing Pb at all ₃，BaTiO₃And SrTiO₃But is not limited thereto.

Each of the plurality of second portions 220 may include a polygonal pattern. Each of the plurality of second portions 220 may be disposed between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210. The plurality of first portions 210 and the plurality of second portions 220 may be disposed (or arranged) in parallel on the same plane (or the same layer). Each of the plurality of second portions 220 may be configured to fill a gap between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210, and may be connected or attached to the second portion 220 adjacent thereto. For example, each of the plurality of second portions 220 may include a line pattern having the second width d2, and may be disposed in parallel with a corresponding first portion 210 between two adjacent second portions 220. Each of the plurality of second portions 220 may have the same size (e.g., the same width, area, or volume) within a process error range (or an allowable error) occurring in the manufacturing process.

The size of each second portion 220 may be equal to or different from the size of each first portion 210. For example, the size of each second portion 220 and the size of each first portion 210 may be set based on requirements including vibration characteristics and/or flexibility of the sound generation module 1900.

Each of the plurality of second portions 220 according to an embodiment may have a lower modulus and viscoelasticity (viscoelasticity) than each of the first portions 210, so that reliability of each of the first portions 210, which is vulnerable to impact due to a brittle characteristic, may be enhanced. For example, when the sound generation module 1900 for vibrating the display panel has impact resistance and high rigidity, the sound generation module 1900 may have maximum vibration characteristics. In order to provide impact resistance and high stiffness to the sound generation module 1900, the plurality of second portions 220 may include a material having a relatively high damping factor (tan δ) and relatively high stiffness. For example, the plurality of second portions 220 may include a material having a damping factor (tan δ) of about 0.1[ Gpa ] to about 1[ Gpa ] and a relatively high stiffness of about 0[ Gpa ] to about 10[ Gpa ]. Further, the damping factor (tan δ) and the stiffness characteristic may be described based on a correlation between the loss coefficient and the modulus, and for example, the plurality of second portions 220 may include a material having a loss coefficient of about 0.01 to about 1 and a modulus of about 1[ Gpa ] to about 10[ Gpa ].

The plurality of second portions 220 may include an organic material or an organic polymer, each having a flexible characteristic compared to the inorganic material portion as the first portion 210. For example, the plurality of second portions 220 may include an organic material, an organic polymer, an organic piezoelectric material, or an organic non-piezoelectric material. For example, each of the plurality of second portions 220 may be referred to as an adhesive portion, an elastic portion, a bending portion, a damping portion, or a flexible portion each having flexibility, but is not limited thereto.

The organic material portion according to the embodiment may include at least one of an organic piezoelectric material and an organic non-piezoelectric material.

The organic material portion including the organic piezoelectric material may absorb an impact applied to the inorganic material portion (or the first portion), so that the overall durability of the sound generation module 1900 may be enhanced and piezoelectric characteristics corresponding to a specific water or a higher level may be provided. The organic piezoelectric material according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be an organic material having an electroactive material. For example, the organic piezoelectric material may include at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), β -polyvinylidene fluoride (β -PVDF), and polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE), but is not limited thereto.

The organic material portion including the organic piezoelectric material may include a curable resin composition and an adhesive including the curable resin composition, and thus, may absorb an impact applied to the inorganic material portion (or the first portion), thereby enhancing the overall durability of the sound generation module 1900. The organic non-piezoelectric material according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of an epoxy-based polymer, a propylene-based polymer, and a silicon-based polymer, but is not limited thereto.

For example, the organic material portion including the organic non-piezoelectric material may include an adhesion promoter for adhesion between the epoxy resin and the inorganic material portion for high rigidity characteristics required for the sound generating module 1900. For example, the adhesion promoter may be a phosphate salt or the like. The organic material portion may be cured by at least one of a thermal curing process and a photo curing process. The solvent-free type epoxy resin may be used to prevent the thickness uniformity of the sound generation module 1900 from being lowered due to shrinkage of the organic material portion caused by solvent evaporation during curing of the organic material portion.

Furthermore, in addition to the high stiffness of the sound generating module 1900, the organic material portion including the organic non-piezoelectric material may further include a reinforcing agent for damping characteristics. For example, the reinforcing agent may be methylmethacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) having a core shell type, and the content thereof may be about 5 wt% to about 40 wt%. The reinforcing agent may be an elastomer having a core unit type and may have a high coupling force with an epoxy resin (e.g., a propylene-based polymer), so that impact resistance or damping characteristics of the sound generation module 1900 may be enhanced.

Accordingly, the first portion 210 including an inorganic material and having piezoelectric characteristics and the second portion 220 including an organic material and having flexibility may be alternately and repeatedly arranged to be connected, and thus, the piezoelectric composite layer PCL may have a film type. Accordingly, the piezoelectric composite layer PCL may be bent based on the shape of the display panel 110, and may have a size based on the display panel 110, or may have a size for realizing vibration characteristics or sound characteristics each set based on the vibration of the display panel 110. For example, the size of each first portion 210 and the size of each second portion 220 may be set based on the piezoelectric properties and flexibility. For example, in a display device requiring piezoelectric characteristics rather than flexibility, the size of each first portion 210 may be adjusted to be larger than the size of each second portion 220. As another example, in a display device requiring flexibility rather than piezoelectric characteristics, the size of each second portion 220 may be adjusted to be larger than the size of each first portion 210. As a result, the piezoelectric composite layer PCL can be adjusted based on the characteristics required for the display device, and thus, the piezoelectric composite layer PCL can be easily designed.

As another example, the first portion 210 and the second portion 220 may include an inorganic material. The first portion 210 and the second portion 220 may be implemented as one film, and may be applied to a display device.

The first electrode 230 may be disposed on the first surface (or front surface) of the piezoelectric composite layer PCL.

The first electrode 230 may be disposed on a first surface of each of the plurality of first portions 210, and may be electrically connected to the first surface. The first electrode 230 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a transparent conductive material, a semi-transparent conductive material, or an opaque conductive material. For example, examples of the transparent conductive material or the semi-transparent conductive material of the first electrode 230 may include Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) or Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO), but are not limited thereto. Examples of the opaque conductive material may include aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), gold (Au), silver (Ag), molybdenum (Mo), and Mg or an alloy thereof, but are not limited thereto.

The second electrode 240 may be disposed on a second surface (or a rear surface) of the piezoelectric composite layer PCL opposite to the first surface. The second electrode 240 may be electrically connected to the second surface of each of the plurality of first portions 210. The second electrode 240 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a transparent conductive material, a semi-transparent conductive material, or an opaque conductive material. For example, the second electrode 240 may include the same material as the first electrode 230, but is not limited thereto.

The piezoelectric composite layer PCL may be polarized by a specific voltage applied to the first electrode 230 and the second electrode 240 in a specific temperature atmosphere or a temperature atmosphere changing from a high temperature to a room temperature.

The sound generation module 1900 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a first passivation layer 250 and a second passivation layer 260.

The first passivation layer 250 may be disposed on the first electrode 230 and may protect the first electrode 230 and the first surface of the piezoelectric composite layer PCL. For example, the first passivation layer 250 may be a Polyimide (PI) film or a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, but is not limited thereto.

The second passivation layer 260 may be disposed on the second electrode 240 and may protect the second electrode 240 and the second surface of the piezoelectric composite layer PCL. For example, the second passivation layer 260 may be a PI film or a PET film, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sound generation module 1900 may be a sound generation module including a piezoelectric composite (piezo composite). For example, the sound generation module according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a piezoelectric composite in which the first portion 210 and the second portion 220 are disposed. As another example, the first and

second portions

210 and 220 may be provided in a sound generation module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the sound generation module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include the first and

second electrodes

230 and 240. As another example, the first and

second portions

210 and 220 may be provided in a sound generation module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the sound generation module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a first electrode 230, a second electrode 240, a first passivation layer 250, and a second passivation layer 260. The sound generation module 1900 may be referred to as a sound generation unit, a vibration generation module, or a vibration generation unit, but the term is not limited thereto.

Therefore, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, since the first and

second portions

210 and 220 having the same size are alternately and repeatedly arranged (or connected) on the same plane, the piezoelectric composite layer PCL may have a single thin film type, may vertically vibrate based on the first portion 210 having vibration characteristics, and may be bent into a curved shape by the second portion 220 having flexibility. The piezoelectric composite layer PCL according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may extend by a desired size or length based on the side coupling (or connection) of the first and

second portions

210 and 220.

Fig. 35A shows a state where both ends of the piezoelectric composite are folded upward. Fig. 35B shows a state where both ends of the piezoelectric composite of fig. 33 are folded downward.

Referring to fig. 35A and 35B, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the piezoelectric composite layer PCL may be vibrated using an electric field based on a signal applied to each of the plurality of first portions 210 having a line pattern, and thus both ends EP of the piezoelectric composite layer PCL in the first longitudinal direction X may be folded in an upward direction + Z or in a downward direction-Z. For example, each of the plurality of second portions 220 filled or disposed between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210 may have flexibility, and thus, even when both ends EP of the piezoelectric composite layer PCL are bent in the upward direction + Z or the downward direction-Z, an inorganic material portion as each first portion 210 is not damaged or performance is not degraded. Further, the display device including the sound generation module 1900 having the piezoelectric composite layer PCL according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may be used as a flexible display device, and may be used, for example, as a curved display device bent at a certain radius of curvature, but is not limited thereto, and may be used as a rollable display device wound and unfolded in a spiral form, a bendable display device, or a wearable display device wound on a wrist. The flexible display device may be, but is not limited to, an edge-curved display device, a bezel-curved display device, or an active-curved display device.

Referring to fig. 36, a piezoelectric composite layer PCL according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include a plurality of first portions 210 each having a circular shape and spaced apart from each other, and a second portion 220 surrounding each of the plurality of first portions 210.

Each of the plurality of first portions 210 may have a circular shape. For example, each of the plurality of first portions 210 may have a circular plate shape. Each of the plurality of first portions 210 may include an inorganic material portion having vibration characteristics as described above, and thus a repetitive description thereof is omitted.

The second portion 220 may be disposed or filled between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210, and may surround a side surface of each of the plurality of first portions 210. The second portion 220 may include an organic material portion having flexibility as described above, and thus, a repetitive description thereof is omitted. The second portion 220 may provide flexibility between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210, and thus, the shape of the piezoelectric composite layer PCL or the sound generation module 1900 may be changed into various shapes, for example, a two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) shape, based on deformation occurring between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210.

Each of the plurality of first portions 210 may have various shapes in addition to the circular plate shape. For example, each of the plurality of first portions 210 may have an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or a circular shape, but is not limited thereto.

Each of the plurality of first portions 210 may have a dotted shape (dotted shape) including a shape of a thin (fine) circle, a thin ellipse, a thin polygon, or a thin circular ring, and the shape of the display device including the sound generation module 1900 having the plurality of first portions 210 may be changed into various shapes based on the flexibility of the second portion 220 disposed between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210. For example, the shape of the display panel of the display device including the flexible vibration module 200 shown in fig. 33 may be changed to a concave or convex 2D shape based on the first portion 210 (or inorganic material portion) having a linear shape, and thus, the shape of the display panel of the display device including the sound generation module 1900 shown in fig. 36 may be changed to various shapes, such as a 3D shape and a 2D shape, based on the first portion 210 (or inorganic material portion) having a dotted shape. Accordingly, the sound generation module 1900 including the piezoelectric composite layer PCL according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may be enhanced in a degree of freedom of design based on a shape of a display device, and may be applied to a flexible display device having various shapes that can be changed, such as a 2D shape or a 3D shape.

Fig. 37 illustrates a sound-generating module including a piezoelectric composite according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 38 illustrates a sound-generating module including a piezoelectric composite according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 37, a piezoelectric composite layer PCL according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include a plurality of first portions 210 each having a triangular shape and spaced apart from each other, and a second portion 220 surrounding each of the plurality of first portions 210.

Each of the plurality of first portions 210 may have a triangular shape. For example, each of the plurality of first portions 210 may have a triangular plate shape. Each of the plurality of first portions 210 may include an inorganic material portion having vibration characteristics as described above, and thus a repetitive description thereof is omitted.

For example, four adjacent first portions 210 of the plurality of first portions 210 may be disposed adjacent to each other to form a square shape (or a square shape or a quadrangular shape). The apexes of four adjacent first portions 210 forming a square (e.g., quadrilateral) shape may be disposed adjacent to each other in the central portion of the square.

As another example, as shown in fig. 38, six adjacent first portions 210 of the plurality of first portions 210 may be disposed adjacent to each other to form a hexagonal shape (or a regular hexagonal shape). The vertices of six adjacent first portions 210 forming a hexagonal shape may be disposed adjacent to each other in the hexagonal center portion. Accordingly, 2N (where N is a natural number equal to or greater than two) adjacent first portions 210 among the plurality of first portions 210 may be disposed adjacent to each other to form a shape of a 2N corner.

The second portion 220 may be disposed or filled between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210, and may surround a side surface of each of the plurality of first portions 210. The second portion 220 may include an organic material portion having flexibility as described above, and thus a repeated description thereof is omitted. The second portion 220 may provide flexibility between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210, and thus, the shape of the piezoelectric composite layer PCL or the sound generation module 1900 may be changed into various shapes such as a 2D shape and a 3D shape based on deformation occurring between two adjacent first portions of the plurality of first portions 210.

Accordingly, a display panel of a display device including the sound generation module 1900 having the piezoelectric composite layer PCL according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may have a shape that is changed based on various 3D shape changes of the sound generation module 1900. Further, the plurality of first portions 210 having the triangular shape may have fine patterns corresponding to various shapes, and the display panel of the display device including the sound generation module 1900 having the first portions 210 may have various shapes that are changed based on the flexibility of the second portion 220 disposed between two adjacent first portions among the plurality of first portions 210. Further, a display device including a piezoelectric composite layer PCL according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may use the same flexible display device as the display device including the sound generation module 1900 shown in fig. 33.

Fig. 39 illustrates a sound generation module and a partition according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 39, a sound generation module 1900 including a piezoelectric composite may be disposed on a rear surface of the display panel 110. The sound generation module 1900 may be disposed in a width direction with respect to a width direction of the display panel 110. The sound generation module 1900 may further include a partition 1760 surrounding the sound generation module 1900. When the plurality of partitions 1760 and the plurality of sound generation modules 1900 are arranged at equal intervals, the inventors have recognized that a sink phenomenon occurs in a specific frequency due to standing waves of the sound generation modules 1900. Therefore, in order to solve the settling phenomenon, the inventors conducted various experiments on the arrangement of the partitions. Through various experiments, the inventors have placed the divider 1760 at a position close to the side of the sound generation module 1900. The sound output characteristics based on this will be described below with reference to fig. 40.

In fig. 40, the horizontal axis represents frequency (Hz) and the vertical axis represents Sound Pressure Level (SPL) (dB). The sound output characteristics can be measured by a B & K device as a sound analysis device. The sound analysis apparatus may include a sound card to transmit or receive sound to or from a control Personal Computer (PC), an amplifier to amplify a signal generated from the sound card and transmit the amplified signal to a sound generation module, and a microphone to collect sound generated by the sound generation module in a display panel. Sounds collected through the microphone may be input to the control computer through the sound card, and the control program may check the input sounds to analyze the sounds of the sound generation module 1900.

Referring to fig. 40, a solid line indicates that a partition is provided at one side of the sound generation module 1900 as in fig. 39, and a dotted line indicates that a plurality of partitions 1760 and a plurality of sound generation modules 1900 are arranged at equal intervals. For example, it can be seen that a settling phenomenon occurs at about 1800Hz in the dotted line, but the settling phenomenon is reduced when the partition according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided. For example, it can be seen that the sound pressure level at about 1800Hz in the dashed line is about 76dB, but when the divider according to embodiments of the present disclosure is provided, the sound pressure level at about 1800Hz is about 87 dB. Accordingly, since the partition is disposed at one side of the sound generation module 1900, the sink phenomenon can be reduced in a specific frequency.

Referring to fig. 41A, at least one sound generation module may be disposed in at least one of the first to eleventh regions 1 to 11. For example, the first sound generation module 1500L may be disposed in the first region 1 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, the fourth sound generation module 1900HL may be disposed in the fourth region 4 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the seventh sound generation module 1500BL may be disposed in the seventh region 7 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The second sound generation module 1500R may be disposed in the second region 2 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, the fifth sound generation module 1900HR may be disposed in the fifth region 5 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the eighth sound generation module 1500BR may be disposed in the eighth region 8 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The third sound generation module 1500C may be disposed in the third region 3 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, the sixth sound generation module 1900HC may be disposed in the sixth region 6 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the ninth sound generation module 1500BC may be disposed in the ninth region 9 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. The tenth sound generating module 1500LC may be disposed in the tenth area 10 of the rear surface of the display panel 110, and the eleventh sound generating module 1500RC may be disposed in the eleventh area 11 of the rear surface of the display panel 110. As another example, as described above with reference to fig. 22, the first to eleventh sound generation modules may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear cover. For example, the first to eleventh sound generation modules may be provided in a module structure.

The fourth sound generation module 1900HL, the fifth sound generation module 1900HR, and the sixth sound generation module 1900HC may use the sound generation module 1900 described above with reference to fig. 33 to 39. The sound generation module 1900 may be modularized into a modular structure as described above with reference to fig. 3A-3E, 6, 12-14, and 18-21. For example, at least one sound generation module may be disposed on a rear surface of the rear cover including the module receiving part, and may be received in the module receiving part of the rear cover. As another example, the sound generation module 1900 may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear cover, and may be modularized, as described above with reference to fig. 22. As another example, the sound generation module 1900 may be provided on a board as described above with reference to fig. 23A to 23D. The fourth sound generation module 1900HL, the fifth sound generation module 1900HR, and the sixth sound generation module 1900HC may be disposed at an upper portion of the display panel 110. When the sound generating module includes a piezoelectric composite, the sound of the treble band may be further enhanced than the sound generating module including the voice coil. Accordingly, the fourth sound generation module 1900HL, the fifth sound generation module 1900HR, and the sixth sound generation module 1900HC may be disposed at an upper portion of the display panel 110, thereby providing the display device with sound of enhanced highlight tapes. For example, the fourth sound generation module 1900HL, the fifth sound generation module 1900HR, and the sixth sound generation module 1900HC may output sounds of about 150Hz to about 40 kHz.

The fourth, fifth and sixth sound generation modules 1900HL, 1900HR and 1900HC may be disposed in the width direction with respect to the width direction of the display panel 110. When the fourth sound generation module 1900HL, the fifth sound generation module 1900HR, and the sixth sound generation module 1900HC are disposed in the width direction with respect to the width direction of the display panel 110, 16: 9, and thus, a space can be easily secured based on the arrangement of the sound generation modules. As another example, the fourth sound generation module 1900HL, the fifth sound generation module 1900HR, and the sixth sound generation module 1900HC may be disposed in a longitudinal direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the display panel 110.

The first sound generation module 1500L may be a left channel of the display panel 110, the fourth sound generation module 1900HL may be a top left channel of the display panel 110, and the seventh sound generation module 1500BL may be a bottom left channel of the display panel 110. The tenth sound generating module 1500LC may be a left center channel of the display panel 110. The second sound generation module 1500R may be a right channel of the display panel 110, the fifth sound generation module 1900HR may be a top right channel of the display panel 110, and the eighth sound generation module 1500BR may be a bottom right channel of the display panel 110. The eleventh sound generating module 1500RC may be a right center channel of the display panel 110. The third sound generation module 1500C may be a center channel of the display panel 110, the sixth sound generation module 1900HC may be a top center channel of the display panel 110, and the ninth sound generation module 1500BC may be a bottom center channel of the display panel 110. The other description is the same as that given above with reference to fig. 27, and thus is omitted.

Furthermore, a woofer may be provided for further enhancing the sound of the bass band. For example, one or more woofers may be further provided below at least one of the seventh region 7 and the eighth region 8. For example, one or more woofers may be further disposed below at least one of the seventh sound generating module 1500BL and the eighth sound generating module 1500 BR. For example, the first woofer W3 may be disposed below the seventh area 7 of the display panel 110. For example, the first woofer W3 may be disposed below the seventh sound generating module 1500 BL. For example, the second woofer W4 may be disposed below the eighth region 8 of the display panel 110. For example, the second woofer W4 may be disposed below the eighth sound producing module 1500 BR. Accordingly, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may output the sound of the bass band. The other description is the same as that given above with reference to fig. 27, and thus is omitted.

As another example, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may not be provided, and at least one of the first sound producing module 1500L and the second sound producing module 1500R may be configured as a sound producing module including a woofer. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed in the first region 1, and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed in the second region 2. For example, a sound generation module including a woofer may be provided in one or more of the first region 1 and the second region 2.

For example, when a sound generation module including a woofer is provided in one or more of the first and

second regions

1 and 2 or one or more of the seventh and

eighth regions

7 and 8, the display apparatus may output 11.2-channel sound or 9.4-channel sound.

Accordingly, the fourth sound generation module 1900HL, the fifth sound generation module 1900HR, and the sixth sound generation module 1900HC can output sounds of about 150Hz to about 40 kHz. The first, second, third, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh sound-generating

modules

1500L, 1500R, 1500C, 1500BL, 1500BR and 1500BC may output sounds of about 80Hz to about 40 kHz. The first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may output sounds of 80Hz or less. Accordingly, the display apparatus can output 11.1 channel sound.

When the sound generating module includes a piezoelectric composite, the sound of the treble band may be further enhanced than the sound generating module including the voice coil. Accordingly, since the fourth, fifth and sixth sound generation modules 1900HL, 1900HR and 1900HC are disposed at the upper portion of the display panel 110 and the seventh, eighth and ninth sound generation modules 1900BL, 1900BR and 1900BC are disposed at the lower portion of the display panel 110, the sound of the high band can be further enhanced and uniform sound can be output from the upper and lower portions of the display panel 110 based on the sound generation modules having enhanced directivity, thereby providing the display device having enhanced three-dimensional effect.

A woofer may be provided to further enhance the sound of the bass band. For example, the first woofer W3 and the second woofer W4 may not be provided, and at least one of the first sound producing module 1500L and the second sound producing module 1500R may be configured as a sound producing module including one or more woofers. For example, the sound generation module W1 of the first integrated woofer may be disposed in the first region 1, and the sound generation module W2 of the second integrated woofer may be disposed in the second region 2.

The sound generation module 1900 may be modularized into a modular structure as described above with reference to fig. 3A-3E, 6, 12-14, and 18-21. As another example, as described above with reference to fig. 22, the sound generation module 1900 may be disposed on the rear surface of the rear cover, and may be modularized. As another example, the sound generation module 1900 may be provided on a board as described above with reference to fig. 23A to 23D. When each of the first to eleventh sound generation modules is configured as a sound generation module including a piezoelectric compound, sound of a high-pitched band may be further enhanced than a sound generation module including a voice coil. Accordingly, since the first to eleventh sound generation modules are provided, the sound of the high band can be further enhanced, and uniform sound can be output from the upper and lower portions of the display panel 110 based on the sound generation modules having enhanced directivity, thereby providing a display device having an enhanced three-dimensional effect.

The display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may implement left and right sounds corresponding to the left and right images and top and bottom sounds corresponding to the upper and lower images, and may implement real stereo including real sounds of stereo left and right sounds and stereo top and bottom sounds, thereby providing real sounds to a user instead of virtual sounds. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the user with real stereo or surround sound including the stereo left and right sounds and the stereo top and bottom sounds, thereby enhancing the sense of realism. Therefore, in theaters, private theaters, and devices such as televisions, a user can feel real sound and images similar to or the same as reality at the same time, and can feel a real AV or dolby sound system, for example.

Further, when the sound generation module having multiple channels shown in fig. 24A and 24B is implemented in the tone plates of fig. 23A to 23D, it is possible to provide a user with true stereo or surround sound including stereo left and right side sounds and stereo top and bottom sounds, thereby enhancing the sense of realism. When the sound generation module having multiple channels and the projection or image reproduction device shown in fig. 24A and 24B are provided in the soundboard of fig. 23A to 23D, a real AV or dolby sound system can be provided so that the user feels real sound and images similar to or the same as reality at the same time, and further, stereo sound for providing a user immersion experience and reality can be provided. Further, as described above with reference to fig. 1 to 22, a modular sound generation module may be applied, and thus, in the case of providing a sound generation module, the degree of freedom in design of a display apparatus or a rear cover may be improved.
